>using "literally" for anything other than emphasis
also, #wouldbang

Wow. So there literally are people who don't know that correct usage of literally covers use for exaggeration.

>>5214577
i've literally checked your dubs :^)

>>5214597
...i literally just masturbated to that chick :*

>>5214603
oh shit wait

You are literally a retard

When will people use greentext correctly again?

>>5214594
No, it really doesn't. People have forced that definition because they're too dense to realize that they're using it incorrectly. I fail to accept that just because the masses accept something being a certain way, that that is indeed the way that it has to be.

>>5214630

>>5214638
What are you quoting?

>>5214646
>you're a faggot

>>5214649
>literally

>>5214646
It has five distinct purposes

>Quoting
>Implying
>Greentext stories
>mfw
>Listing

>>5214649
I didn't post that.

>>5214655
What are you quoting those from?

>>5214664
Are you having fun yet?

>>5214680
Not at all.

>>5214655
>Greentext stories
It's kind of sad that people don't have the patience to relay a good experience. Though I guess it's fine because it's probably not worth the read anyway.

Everything but quoting and listing can go to hell.

>>5214577
OP here, cont.
>not even myself

i'm also a giant faggot and enjoy sucking dicks.

>>5214597
*tips dubs*

>>5214577
This means not even your post used it correctely.
This means you didn't mean it 'literally'
This means you HAVE seen people use it correctely

>>5214946
dude what

>>5214946
Dude, when you do something yourself, do you see yourself do it?

>mfw literally surrounded by literal retards

>>5214577
>mfw you're stupid

>>5215010
*your

>>5214577
This has literally been noted before.

>>5214974
Of course.

>>5215041
>figuratively glued to your seat
What does that mean?

>>5215075
What most people mean by saying "actually": Being held on your seat, but by virtue of a good book/movie/conversation, not by actual glue.

>>5214637
>people have forced that definition
How do you think words get their meaning?

>>5215087
"I was actually glued to my seat"?

>>5215098
eh, I literally meant "literally".

>>5215088
it came from god

>>5214637
that's cool. but know that if until now you haven't been experiencing the same level of frustration with the 'misuse' of words such as absolutely and totally, or any of the other torrent of words which we use in non-literal means for the purpose of exaggeration, then your view originates more from a meme/autism than some sort of actual, logical grievance.

>>5215102
even if he did it's still the same. there's also "awesome" by the way.

I've never seen "ad hominem" used correctly. people seem to think it means to call someone a name.

>>5215197
This is the only one I've seen people misuse consistently. 4chan doesn't understand what "hipster" and "edgy" mean, but most people seem to be able to grasp those concepts easily. No on, on any forum, uses ad hominem correctly.

>>5214577
so what you're saying is that you've metaphorically seen somebody use that word correctly?

>>5215361
most of gaia's morality forum uses it correctly but it tends to just make them more annoying.

>>5215404
>rêve
You're still alive? We all presumed you dead after your massive gangbang with the homeless.

>>5215197
⇒people seem to think it means to call someone a name.

But this IS the meaning of "ad hominem", you birdbrained nitwit.

>>5215361
>>5215387
either of you correct me if i'm wrong, but i was under the assumption that the ad hominen is more the implication behind the insult than the insult itself. as in, you attack someone's character knowing full-well that most people, just by the nature, will afterwards commit the fallacy.

so if i fedora tip a tl;dr wall of text that i disagree with, the fedora tip itself is not the ad hominen, but in effectively saying 'don't listen to this nigga, he's a neckbeard.' i am in promoting and advocating others to dismiss the ad hominen defense.

>>5215433
i've been busy working and writing words of hecka caliber and i never post with the name so i get lost in the shuffle.

plus my nudes were dropped and it annoyed me. only i can post my nudes to /lit/

>>5215452
to dismiss based on the ad hominen*

>>5215452
Yes, you've got ad hominem right.

>>5214577
I will figuratively rip your eyes out and make you shit them.

>>5215456
Shut the fuck up you empty-headed, retarded teenager.

>>5215652
i'm hardly even saying words. why are you so grumpy? did you miss out on the naked pictures? :(

>>5215700
>le xP ;^)

Kill yourself you fucking idiot

>>5214577
Words are defined by how they are used. Not by how people choose to accept them as.

Moron.

>>5215719
sadfaces are an important thing in the internet community. they convey a lot in two symbols and are hecka cute. if you can't recognize the variety of meanings projected by them then that's your problem.

>>5215741
>xDDDDDDD

I wonder if you'll keep being a rabid retard

>>5214712
>implying

>>5215752
i'm not saying that the rest of the faces are important. just sadfaces. it's sad when even gaia understands this basic concept and you don't.

>>5215435
No, m8, it's not.

>>5215577
No, he doesn't. Apparently, you don't either.

>>5214577
Dem cheekbones doe

>>5215752
you post like a 2006 /b/tard, this is not a good thing

>>5216120
