- rhaps0dy 9y agoHar, "with no figuration" is a good substitute for old "literally". Thanks. I only frightens me figuratively, but that may be because I don't plan on moving there.
- igravious 9y agoTotally off-topic but considering the primary sense of `literally' is being figuratively eroded all around me, “with no figuration” might be the best option we'll end up with. I wish I could insure it never came to pass.
