The English Oxford Dictionary has added a new definition of "literally" 1. to be exact and precise; 2. used to emphasise a point.
So this afternoon I am in a cafe and I don't want to DS1 to have too much icecream so I say "please can I have one scoop; literally one scoop" and he starts piling it into the tub. I say to him no I really mean literally. With the new definition added in how is he to know which one I am using. I meant it in the "literal" sense.
AIBU for wanting to start a campaign to bring back the old, more exact definition of said word. It is one of the best words in the English language to describe what you want to happen.
