Literally Literally.

I don't know how many people watch the Rachel Zoe Project, but that woman could literally cause an English major to jump off a building. You will never say "literally" again after watching this video... because you will realize that Rachel Zoe has already exhausted the "literally" quota for the entire universe. And now your brain will literally perform a timed self-destruct.

What is the correct usage of literally, anyway? Well I guess at this point the English language has evolved to include the un-literal form of literally. I personally could care less, since I use "actually" as my emphatic stamp. Actually, actually is actually my actual way of actually stressing an actual statement. It's a irrepressible verbal tic, like Touretts but with filler words. But "actually" is MUCH better than my mother's filler word habit, which is "you know..?" It enrages logician in me because if I knew, then we do not need to be having this conversation right now!!!

But still, in terms of tolerance --

Actually > You know

You know > Literally

Therefore, by law of transitivity --

Miffy > Rachel Zoe. :)
