I like using "they" as a gender-neutral singular pronoun (provided that the accompanying verb is conjugated in the plural to agree with "they" ), and most of the other points are the same ones that I make regularly (i.e., split infinitives are not mistakes and never have been, there's nothing wrong with the passive voice, you feel good unless you're trying to describe how attuned your tactile senses are, in which case you can say you feel well). However, the misuse of "literally" is really misuse. Cracked can try to put a spin on it, but even they seem to realize that it's pushing the envelope a bit.
