I know, can't help it. It is becoming the norm, as most people seem to make that particular error. I hate the fact that definitions are descriptive rather than prescriptive, so if nobody corrects it, a word will officially lose its meaning after a while. Like 'literally' is now a synonym for figuratively, so now we have to use the word actually to mean literally. What happens when the word actually loses its meaning, how are we to convey that concept?
English adapts, bruh. It's got dis.

Are you sure the correct word here is not loose? A word looses its definition, thereby having a looser meaning and can mean more than one thing. Like literally, it still means literally, but also figuratively, so the definition was not lost but loosed. Who new I was so good with grammar?

Made a peach cobbler for the wifey last night and she added vanilla ice cream and from the sounds of it it is good lol
On our way to pick up a new mailbox yesterday, we stopped to get a brisket sandwich on focaccia bread with baked beans and potato salad. Got talked into stopping at the bakery, thinking she'd get a couple muffins or donuts - nope! She came out with pecan carrot cake, cinnamon rolls and apple crumble. So good!
