re: “I am troubled by the phrase, “like literally” followed by something that is like literally not literal.”

I am troubled, and have been troubled, for a very long time, that the famous authors of American literature, to include Poe, Lovecraft, Stevenson, and Ellison are no longer able to be comprehended by the under-30 American citizenry, because there are no pictures, when compared to the over-priced pulp-friction of what has evolved from the days of ‘the comic book’.
