See? See?! Nobody actually cares about literally, they just parrot this stupid goddamn objection over and over because they were taught to.
And here’s Indistinguishable’s post. In this very same thread even.
This thread is full of apropos usernames, but the match of yours to that post takes the cake.
Naw, he’s just a troll. he doesn’t really give a shit about this, he clearly knows nothing about it, all he knows this is a subject that will get Dopers riled up.
Next threads are tipping, cat declawing and circumcision.
Itsa trap? !
Admiral Akbar agrees with you. 
DNFTT.
No. They’ve been discussing it for centuries but only now have reached the verb at the end of the sentence.
That deserves a slow clap.
BTW, I’ll use “proscriptive” to mean “prescriptive” as much as I want, and anyone who tells me I can’t is a damned prescriber (and a proscriber).

Yep. It shows.
This from the guy who can’t be bothered to capitalize Lance.
The rot is irreversible (apart from the story itself).
Ah, but lance is not capitalized. It’s my legal name that way. Says so on my birth certificate. Take that, Mr. Stickler.
Then your mother sucks at English and you should feel bad. If you truly cared about the language, you’d know that proper nouns are always capitalized and you’d have corrected it as soon as you were capable.
Prescriptivism is for ninnies! I heard it here on this thread. I can do whatever I want with language and nobody can say I’m wrong!
And don’t talk about my mother that way.
I just now read this…
My soul is literally crushed.
Also, damn it, internet people, “cite” is a verb. “Citation” is the noun.
