If we're just going to cave to the "bad language pedants" of whom JJMBallantyne speaks, we should probably close down this website as well. Nobody will care about proper English anyway at that point. For my part, I will continue to belly-ache.
Personally, the rampant hyperbolic use of "literally" is one of my biggest pet peeves. However, the universal substitution of "actually" for that word seems like quite a stretch...
