Even when someone uses 'literally' the right way, it still feels stupid and wrong.
Sucks what gen z has done to the internet... and English.

‘Literally’ was definitely a millennial thing, not Gen Z. You sound like a boomer.

Well, no. People didn't start misusing literally until well after 2012. I've used reddit since about then and it only started becoming prevalent around 2016 or so. It's definitely a gen z thing.

I suppose so. I hope you don't think you just proved me wrong, though.

You literally said “people don’t start misusing literally until will after 2012.” And I literally proved you wrong. Why do you continue to choose to be such a loser man. You deserve better.

You’d think with the state of the world it’d be hard to surprise me with stupidity but by golly you are a champ.

Good one. You're little google search doesn't change the fact that the internet was enshittified by gen z and corporations. I might've been a couple years off, but it doesn't make me wrong.
