not falling, 'literally'. figuratively, yes.

One valid and recognized definition of literally is “figuratively”. Words and usage changes overtime in a society.

Recognised but never valid.

I'm not a prescriptivist in general, but I draw the line when it doesn't make any sense AND makes it harder for people to understand each other/meaningfully communicate what they actually mean to say.

You haven't drawn any lines, God, you're typing words.
