Don't be so literal

Perils of live TV:

This morning on one of the network news shows, an anchor used the phrase "literally from every corner of the globe."

It's like back in the 1980s when a local TV guy now with CNN said a person "literally will walk through that door."

Be careful when using the word "literally."
