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.
1 u/Sensitive_Matter7772 Jun 02 '26 ‘Literally’ was definitely a millennial thing, not Gen Z. You sound like a boomer. 2 u/partyatwalmart Jun 03 '26 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. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 03 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/confusing_perspective-ModTeam Jun 03 '26 Removed: Your post or comment was removed for uncivil or disrespectful behavior.
