There's a sentence I never imagined having to write!
Call me picky, but this usage of "literally" always bothers me, especially from people who you would hope would be precise in their use of language. Not a hill I would die on, but one on which I would get very annoyed. And do.

It's not the fall that kills you; it's the sudden stop at the end.
