Biggest pet peeve: frequent misuse of the word “literally.”
“Literally” is not a synonym for “actually.”
Unless what you are referring to has both a figurative and literal connotation, you are not being literal but merely grammatically incorrect.
Ex. 1: “This was literally the hardest test I’ve ever taken.” So your test paper was made of steel?
Ex. 2: “I am literally exhausted from today.” Remind me what the literal definition of being exhausted is?
