You are literally using that word incorrectly

The Soapbox Lex

About this episode

In this episode of SoapBoxLex, we explore the funny, frustrating, and often surprising ways people misuse common words and phrases.

From the overuse of literally when they mean figuratively, to classics like I could care less instead of I couldn’t care less, we break down where these mistakes come from and why they stick around.

We’ll share some of the most popular examples, discuss how language evolves, and maybe even settle a few debates along the way.

Join us as we unpack the quirks of everyday speech and the words we love to get wrong.
