Literally

A word to show that it really happened. Not to be confused with figuratively.
Correct Usage: It rained so hard last night, I could LITERALLY hear the raindrops as I was sleeping.
The person could hear the rain falling down while they were sleeping.
Incorrect Usage: It was LITERALLY raining cats and dogs last night.
Apparently, cats and dogs were falling from the sky last night, according to this person.
If you got this wrong, I don't blame you. I didn't know for a while, too.

literant

Any long (and usually insulting) screed, meme, or other "correction" offered by a Grammar Nazi.

"Did you see Bob's latest literant? Mixing up 'lose' and 'loose' really sets him off."
"What a looser, haha"

Bob's initial objection to the new project quickly turned into a literant after an autocorrect failure triggered his Grammar Nazi instincts.
