Communication Briefings
People often use the word "literally" to emphasize a point:  "It is literally a jungle out there," you might say, in an effort show the direness of the situation.  But "literally" is an overused word that adds little to any sentence.  In fact, its use can be confusing when, as in the example above, it is used in combination with a metaphor:  In that case, a better word choice would be "figuratively" - although the sentence will be stronger without either word.
