"Literally Watch!"

It's been a while since I've heard a distinct misuse of the word, but last night on NBC News there an excellent correct usage. It was a report about immigrant Americans and their U.S. born children. The daughter of one couple from Mexico was mentioned as "from birth being defined as American, literally"...then followed the little girl introducing herself, her first name being "America".
