I literally am typing this in my sleep. NO. I literally am typing this on my keyboard. I figuratively am typing this in my sleep. What I'm trying to say is that as I am typing this I'm very tired. We don't really need to use the word literally. If you say you were interrupted 10 times while typing a Twitter post, I trust that you are being literal. I don't need to know that you were literally interrupted 10 times. Some of us might say, "I was interrupted literally a million times." Now that is about as far from "literally" as you can get. If you are not being literal, most people (except Dr. Sheldon Cooper) will get it. We can just say, "You are a moron." rather than "You are literally a moron."
And please don't take things to the next level. What is the next level? "Take your presentation skills to the next level!" On what level am I now? How do I know when I reach the next level? Is this like a video game that tells me when I have reached the next level? Have you heard the radio commercials for Tommy Hilfiger underwear? They have boxer briefs that provide the next level in comfort and support! Really? What exactly is the next level of underwear comfort and support? Please describe that to me. On second thought, don't.
And of course, we must keep everything in perspective by judging what the outcome should be at the end of the day. Should it be the same at the end of every day? If something is satisfactory at the end of the day, is it no longer an issue? What about the next day? The next week? The next month? You get the picture. Why can't it be at the end of the year? Or how about at the end of lunch? Is there really an end at all, or is this an ongoing situation?
So...at the end of the day this discussion literally needs to be taken to the next level.
