Pete Prisco's Team Grades for 2017 Draft

I get so pissed off when people who are paid to write for a living - like the idiot who wrote the Bleacherreport article - don't seem to understand language. Here's the opening paragraph of that article:

"Across the NFL, many of the front-office executives who help shape their teams' drafts have always viewed Ted Thompson as almost a God-like figure. He is, by some, literally worshipped."

Does this guy have any idea what the word "literally" means? Or are there really a bunch of front office executives who get on their knees to worship little Ted Thompson statues they have set up on an altar in the corners of their offices?

C'mon Fritz, definition 4 of Merriam Webster!

That's the definition of "literal"??

That's the definition of "literal"??

It's a millennial thing, don't you know? Max's D4 is close but the millennial usage means something closer to bigly. For instance: "I was sitting there trying to write my final paper, and I could not think of anything to say. Then, suddenly, a light bulb literally went off in my head."

In the case of many millennials I literally believe that!

Definition of worship. They literally respect and admire how Ted operates.

Nah, your right it doesn't make sense that way either.
