Comment on Literally exactly how it works, too.
InputZero@lemmy.world 3 days agoOkay but that’s a dishonest argument. Sure reality is just perception and perception is unique to the individual. All that said words have meaning which we have agreed upon. Otherwise I could write gibberish, call it meaningful text, and prove anything. It’s the fact that words have specific meanings which makes them useful. Otherwise it’s baby talk and that’s cute but not great for communication.

Yes, communication works best when people agree on what words mean, and a great, great many people have agreed that “literally” means things other than “literally”.
