    Literally means figuratively now.

    Yes, language changes, that is why you don’t rely solely on individual words to define your argument.

    The reason people might argue despite agreeing outside semantics is that they never bothered to go beyond a very basic explanation of their argument. If your sole disagreement comes from a differing interpretation of a word… then do your best to define your argument better. Otherwise you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.
