How are you gonna say that a sentence 'literally' means something other than what the words literally mean and claim you're making any kind of point by being mad that someone's pointing that out? Stick to telling people to fuck off, you're good at that.
You understand something can have more than one definition……….. right……….
Better than you understand what the word 'literally' means. And do you understand the most commonly understood meaning of a phrase is gonna be what it literally says? Say what you mean instead of parroting cliche phrases that are oversaid because you can't think of how to phrase a sentence yourself.
It’s not parroting and the phrase isn’t cliche lmfao and I know what literally means, my apologies that’s just another thing you can’t comprehend.
Maybe you should realize that you’re the issue here…?
You said that a sentence 'literally' meant something other than what the words literally meant, and now you're claiming im the problem? At least ive been pointing out things in your arguement instead of simply claiming you're the problem like you're doing to me. You seem to be struggling with the language which makes sense given your thoughts on the phrase.
Yes… for the last time, phrases can have multiple definitions and saying literally means it can be any of them. Not just one specific term like your simple wanting brain thinks.
And you’ve pointed out nothing in my comments lmfao, and the few you may have I refuted, but they weren’t “simple” enough. Your phrase even, literally.
Lmfao, you clearly have no grasp on language. You needed the definition of literally spelt out, didn’t know phrases have multiple definitions, and need stuff so “simple” a toddler can comprehend it….
Yeah… I’m the issue lmfao….
You already said that and already I said if phrases have multiple meanings the first one people are gonna understand is the one the words literally mean. Especially in text chats. Im not the only one interpreting that statement the way I do, thats what the whole debate in the entirety of this posts coments is about. So since its clearly not just a me issue, perhaps saying a more clear sentence would help like I first suggested, but you cant seem to recognize that. If it was just me understanding that phrase this way then maybe you'd have a point, but it's not, and you dont.
