Sir,

Sua recente reportagem sobre um jogador de t\u00eanis que \u201cliteralmente dinamitou seus advers\u00e1rios para fora do campo\u201d sugere que est\u00e1 sendo preciso ser menos sutil para vencer. Como, por exemplo, indica a palavra \u201cliteralmente\u201d em uma met\u00e1fora, n\u00e3o seria inadequado o uso de dinamite em uma partida de primeria classe?

Sir,

Talvez o uso mais pitoresco do \u201cliteralmente\u201d foi daquele escritor que afirmava que \u201cdurante cinco anos Mr. Gladstone esteve literalmente colado ao Banco Central.\u201d

Sir,

Eu apresento o seguinte, longo e adoravelmente lembrado exemplo de meus dias de \u201cpenny dreadful\u201d: \u201cDick, calorosamente perseguido pelo ca\u00e7ador de couro cabeludo, virou-se sobre sua sela, atirou e literalmente dizimou o \u00edndio\u201d.

Penny dreadful<\/em> era o equivalente vitoriano dos contos de fic\u00e7\u00e3o pulp<\/em>, publicados em papel vagabundo e vendidos a pre\u00e7os baix\u00edssimos.<\/p>\n

Tamb\u00e9m houve relato de abuso por parte de uma ag\u00eancia de viagem:<\/p>\n

\n

Sir,

Um guia para a Gr\u00e9cia amplamente lido no pr\u00e9-guerra costumava descrever os habitantes daquele pa\u00eds como t\u00e3o interessados em pol\u00edtica que poderiam ser vistos diariamente \u201cem caf\u00e9s e restaurantes literalmente devorando seus jornais\u201d.

Sir,

Quando eu era editor-assistente do \u201cSaturday Review\u201d no come\u00e7o dos anos 1920, durante uma aus\u00eancia tempor\u00e1ria do editor eu permiti que um revisor declarasse, naquelas p\u00e1ginas augustas, que seu cora\u00e7\u00e3o estava literalmente em suas botas.
