    Literally can now also mean figuratively so there’s no way to know.

      Damn kids nowadays! Back in my days we didn’t do such things. /s

      But, I still hate literally being used “wrong”.

      You’re not wrong that it means that now, but literally has meant figuratively since it started being used in the eighteenth century
