Where in the article, does he literally beg?
Literally literally does not have to be literal anymore.
It’s been that way for a couple years now.
I know people say that (in english), but then there has to be a word to mean something in the literal sense. And 'actually' doesn't count, because people literally use it like they use 'literally' as to mean figuratively.
I'm sure "I didn't mean 'literally' literally, so it wasn't perjury your honor" won't work in court.
I have literally never heard of anyone getting in trouble for misusing literally in court but if you can find any examples I'd be interested in seeing them.
So you might have heard it?
I’m not sure the language is unclear.
