True, but if you wanted to articulate the concept formerly known as "Literally", how would you do it? I just woke up, and my brain hasn't booted all the way to desktop yet, but I can't immediately think of another word to fill the niche.

The closest I can come is "genuinely" but the connotations don't quite fit for all uses.

we need a /L1 /L2 etc corresponding to which definition of literally we are using? /s
