Well, considering how languages evolve, “capitol” is soon to follow the fate of “literally”.

I do find it oh so funny that literally now literally means figuratively as well as its original meaning.

So will figuratively come to mean literally? That would be figuratively funny.

Edit: I thought about it and came to the conclusion that "literally" doesn't mean "figuratively" but it's just an emphasiser. So it can be used in contexts where "figuratively" would work but it literally is just there to give emphasis to the statement.
