X is quite literally on fire out here.
Y has literally skinned A alive every time he has the ball.
Great save by Z, that shot by B was literally unstoppable.
The last one is an example that is of particular annoyance, where they literally demonstrate in the same sentence that they are literally an utter moron who should quite literally have their larynx crushed for the greater good. My use of literal in there is literally correct, just so you know.

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

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
