The fodder for this outburst has to do with the seemingly rampant abuses of king’s english.  (As opposed to "the king's' English.")

You see, in my english, the word “literally” literally means, uhm…literally.  In the last many months, I must have heard literally billions of instances in which the word “literally” was used when in fact the thing discussed was not literal.  Ahem…

No doubt many who know and correctly use the king’s' English have addressed this matter far more properly and eloquently than I, but the humming birds aren’t ready for prime time, so this is my post for the day, (this week  : )

If I could impose my will upon humanity, near the bottom of my edict in the “Oh, and by the way…” section, there would be prohibitions on the use of the nonsensical verbiage that seems to be prevalent in popular culture’s conversations.  Such as:

The words actually and basically may not be used when speaking to someone.

The word like may be used as a verb, but not as an adjective.

Ending a sentence with “...REALLY?” is not acceptable as a rhetorical question.

The term awesome is best left to refer to the one Who truly is. 

All persons would have to take this rant literally   : )

Stay blessed,

king
