This one is near and dear to my heart:

Five modifiers you might have intended when you just said “literally”
March 28th, 2006

1. completely
2. kind of
3. almost
4. not at all
5. figuratively

That is one of my biggest pet peeves.

I don't quite remember my favorite misuse of literally, but it is close to "the audience's eyes were literally riveted to the stage." Ouch!
