Have you seen an American TV in the past 20 years?

>>2243553
Exactly this, and not just TV.

>>2243628
But that's literally the correct usage.

>>2243644
no it literally isn't

The Japanese didn't drop bombs on American TV manufacturing plants

you can destroy something without dropping bombs on it, you dullard

>>2243649
"Destroyed" doesn't mean that they had to use military force to crush competition. Anyhow, this is just semantics. Japan did BTFO the American car and consumer electronics industries.

>>2243654
Ah, ok. Did the Japs march into the plant with cricket bats then?

They didn't ''literally'' destroy the TV manufacturer. They figuratively did. That's it. There are still TVs being made in America.

You are literally a pedantic shitposter derailing a thread that can turn out to be good because you're an attention starved redditor. Literally.

nobody takes merriam webster seriously apart from fat american

Also, it's 'cuckold' not 'cuckhold' (unless of course you are implying that I am putting a cuck (you) in a chokehold)

>>2243710
Why are redditors so obsessed with cuckoldry that they know the correct spelling and correct other people about it?

Really makes you think. Being a cuck permeates every fibre of their being. Literally.

>>2243718
*figuratively

>>2243710
You have to go back

>used in a figurative way as an exaggeration

Kind of feels like a cause-effect problem. "Literally" was initially only able to be used LITERALLY.

Report this faggots posts god damnit. OP should remake the thread, its been perma-derailed

>>2243721

>>2243734

>>2243731
Yes initially. And the word "bourgoise" meant city dwellers before Marx came along.
