Literally, a Web Log

Patrick and Amber are on a mission to free the world from the inaccurate, insulting, and ludicrous use of the word "literally." From their desks in Atlanta, Georgia, this vigilant duo monitors web stories, keeps tabs on television reports, and encourages allies to send them examples of the L-word being lobbed indiscriminately at innocent sentences everywhere. Scroll through this roster of abuse and you will learn of tech companies literally falling apart, young women literally jumping out of their skin, and cats literally raining down on the Puget Sound area. Ouch! Religious leaders have dropped the L-bomb. So have athletes. An historian, an impressively literate actress, and even The Wall Street Journal have debased themselves with the Big L. So read, enjoy, and excise that word from your vocabulary. Otherwise, you might find yourself mocked online. Literally.
