Oxford English Dictionary Literally Wrong
- The Drum, Wednesday, August 14, 2013 2:22 PM
The Oxford English Dictionary has added the erroneous use of the word ‘literally’, to emphasis a point, to the definition of the word. The dictionary states that the official definition of literally is “in a literal way or sense”. Fiona McPherson, the senior editor of the dictionary said the new meaning was added in September 2011, but has ‘literally slipped under the radar’.
