Literally has been used as an intensifier for over 200 years. The Oxford English Dictionary includes the definition of “figuratively”. Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry David Thoreau, James Fenimore Cooper, James Joyce, Charles Dickens, and Mark Twain all used it that way in their writing.

The more I learn about the concessions made to the southern slave owners I wish the founders hadn’t tried so hard to include them in the union. The north and the south were so different it seems like it would be as doomed to failure as jamming all the Balkan states into a single country.

It did, and he didn’t

I don’t understand. That’s essentially where I learned Fedora from. Where did you learn to use Windows?
I don’t know, friend. My daughter is high on the spectrum and struggles similarly. It must be frustrating
Every time you’re asked to repeat yourself, use different words which mean the same thing. Saying the same thing over and over and expecting to get a different response is useless and frustrating.
Where does one find these multitasking settings?
What if Fedora is running on ARM?
