    Okay I’ll be that guy. Not literally.

    It’s still a funny visual joke, and loses nothing by being simply

    iPhone went through mitosis

    Or if you’re even more pedantic than I,

    iPhone camera went through mitosis

    Are there many more urgent problems in the world than proliferation of misused "literally"s?

    Absolutely. And I do my tiny part. But focusing for a moment on something small like this helps me step away from the abyss.

      1. in effect; in substance; very nearly; virtually:

        I literally died when she walked out on stage in that costume.

        If the words meaning has changed, what’s to new word to use when we mean literally (in its original meaning)?

        Yes, and with that definition it becomes a contronym. As in a contradiction. As in the word no longer peforms the function it once did. And before you say ‘bUt LaNgUaGeS sHiFt OvEr TiMe’ - the word virtually literally peforms the same function as the new definition.

        Who am I kidding, discussing the importance of articulation to people who never learned the definitions of the words they use has always been a losing battle. Your knowledge will always be less valuable to them than their ignorance.

          I just gave you the definition, from the dictionary. Maybe you are the one that never learned the definitions of the words they use.

        But not metaphorically, which is what we’re seeing here, in this visual pun.
