Thank you for your post. I had wanted to say something similar, but felt sheepish and petty about it....didn't want to be the grammar police and all...but the use of the word "literally" when they don't mean "literally" really gets on my nerves...

William F. Buckley would be proud of you! As am I.

Do you think we could make any progress with an effort to make people use the words "lie" and "lay" correctly?
