    So they say things like, "I really literally the movie"?

    I've never seen anyone type like this. I'm assuming it's because they all get killed off.

    Yeah, I still see it. It's even more annoying when people text like that as well.

    No, like as in similar to, so NE's talking about this kind of thing:

    "That movie, like, sucked."

    =

    "That movie literally sucked."

    It pisses me off too.

    Right now what bothers me most is the your/you're thing. I think people should just stop using contractions altogether now.

    With English I'm fairly descriptivist (but spelling mistakes and the like still annoy me) but I get hugely prescriptivist and picky with foreign languages.
