> The only hill I'm willing to die on anymore is the now-accepted use of the word "literally"

Oh, $DEITY. That one really pisses me off; but that hill is almost a guaranteed death sentence. It's in Merriam Webster, saying it means one thing, as well as it's negation. I'm sure there are better hills to fight for.

You can call me a deserter or a fugitive, if you like. I don't care. I won't die on the hill called "literally".
