To be fair, I don’t believe people are using literally figuratively either. I believe it’s simply ignorance on their part (whether willful or otherwise), which happens. And I’m okay with that for the most part. What bothers me is that the dictionary codified it as if it should be an acceptable use.
A dictonary should include all common uses of words. Some people might be confused when someone uses literally figuratively and look it up in the dictionary. If hhe informal use was not there, thay would still be as confused. The dictinary is just a service, not the truth.
