Sir, – We seem to have allowed ourselves to lie outright to those around us with statements such as “I’ll be with you in two seconds”. Now, however, it often includes the word “literally”. So although you could still be left waiting for minutes or hours, you are told, “I’ll be with you in two seconds, literally”.
This advance in phrases we live with makes me sick literally! – Yours, etc,
