Literally Watch!

Been a while since I caught a nice plump misuse of the word "literally", but there is was on a Montgomery TV newscast last night. The anchor told us an event happening in the city was "literally putting Montgomery on the map". Uh, no, unless it was a cartographers convention and they were drawing a new state map. And it was a competition sponsored by the Bass Master on the Alabama River Downtown (and no, they're not "literally putting the river on the map" either). [Literally Watch is a public service of this blog, defending the original, and we believe correct, meaning of the word.]
