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.
