literally.

I like to learn.
So I googled the definition of literally and insert it in a sentence.

This is the result:

Its a speedy judgment literally for the ex-army who molested his two daughters at Jalan Duta Magistrate's court today.
The magistrate passed the judgment within minutes after the 37yo pleaded guilty to the charges read to him.
-ends-

What the definition of literally?
Since the early 20th century, literally has been widely used as an intensifier meaning ***in effect, virtually,*** a sense that contradicts the earlier meaning ***actually, without exaggeration***: The senator was literally buried alive in the Iowa primaries.

You see, the senator wasnt really buried.

Same goes with He was literally beaten like a drum.

But the use of literally is often criticized; nevertheless, it appears in all but the most carefully edited writing. Although this use of literally irritates some, it probably neither distorts nor enhances the intended meaning of the sentences in which it occurs.

So the conclusion? English is fun as long as one knows how to put the sentence right. I guess or so I heard.
Open for discussion?

When do one really grow up?


I think when one understands the word responsibility and empathy. What do you think?

name calling

Today is crap day. Net sucks. Maybe because of weather maybe because Maxis decided that they should do something with my connection since I still owe them one month subscription fee.
Anyways despite of having problems with net, slow like snail, I still manage to browse. Hop from one blog to another reading some great postings.
However, I feel a bit taken aback with the comments that I read.
The blogger, I shall not mentioned the name, is not a favourite among some people and I think it's because how he expressed his mind through his postings. But I never thought people are so spiteful until I read the comments on his posting.
Expressing anger and disagree by name calling just so low.
It makes you look stupid. Lol. Anyways if it meant like a joke or anything it should be fine I guess or a form of endearing names for your loved one like butt head or jackass.
I have nothing better to do right now.
Too lazy to go out and tired.
Work day tomorrow. ahhh... work day....
peace!
