      One valid and recognized definition of literally is “figuratively”. Words and usage changes overtime in a society.

        Recognised but never valid.

        I’m not a prescriptivist in general, but I draw the line when it doesn’t make any sense AND makes it harder for people to understand each other/meaningfully communicate what they actually mean to say.
