Literally

Whatever merits Joe Biden may have as a Vice President, one problem — as his announcement speech made clear — is that he’s by far the greatest abuser of the term “literally” in American politics today. Were he to wind up in the Oval Office, I fear he might somehow get dictionaries to officially reclassify the word as a meaningless intensifier.
