Misusing "Literally" is one of the few grammar issues that actually bothers me.

It just bugs me. It figuratively drives me up a wall.

I'm with you on all points. Furthermore, misuse of "literally" isn't a grammar issue at all.

Your example is slightly different from e.g. "My blood was literally boiling". *NM*

I used the article's example. But I don't see why your example is any different in that regard. *NM*

Yeah, literally in hyperbole doesn't bother me. But I also don't mind when people mock its usage. *NM*

If I'm not mistaken, the Future Indicative evolved from and replaced some of the Subjunctive.

There was never an optative in recorded Latin or later Romance languages.

It's not Ojala which makes me think there's a connection between the Conditional and Optative
