Except the definition was changed. Meaning, by merriam webster own definition, the those people are actually correct in their use:
Quote:
Definition of LITERALLY
1
: in a literal sense or manner : actually <took the remark literally> <was literally insane>
2
: in effect : virtually <will literally turn the world upside down to combat cruelty or injustice — Norman Cousins>
