THAT TOO, IS STUPID..

Here is another thing that I find odd in the world. But at least this time my point is slightly more valid....

When someone says they LITERALLY did something, it means they really did it. And if someone is speaking FIGURATIVELY, they're speaking in metaphor. But literal and literature come from the same word. So who would something real be written, or a story? Conversely, something figurative, or figure, as in numbers, be fake?

See what I'm getting at?

LITERAL - Literature, stories: fake
FIGURATIVE - Figures, numbers; real.
