Let's reinvent the fucking scrollbar, which every goddamn platform with a UI already has, and make it behave subtly different from the native one!

Right-click a native scrollbar in some other app:
- Scroll Here
- Top
- Bottom
- Page Up
- Page Down
- Scroll Up
- Scroll Down

Right-click a scrollbar in Chrome:
- Back
- Forward
- Reload
- Save As...
...

Right-click a scrollbar in Firefox and Opera:
Absolutely fucking nothing happens!

What the fuck!? How did these terminally retarded idiots get involved in creating one of the most important pieces of software to the average user?

You can still use literally. Just because a word gains a new meaning doesn't mean the old meaning magically disappears, unless the old meaning becomes replaced by other words (like "dumb" and "gay", for example.) Given that literally is used in academic contexts, that's not likely to happen.

Also, since we're talking about language evolution, I'd like to point out that you used the phrase "wanting" in the context of "to desire", when that word originally meant "lacking." If the Shakespearian age prescriptivists were here today, they'd shun you for using "want" when you meant "will" or "wish."
