What well used words are no longer used correctly?

As in, their true definition is not the way people use them.

Example, people using "literally" instead of figuratively.

"I'm like ... " (This is a major pet peeve of mine.)

They should be saying:

"I said ..., "

or,

"I thought ...".

@Byron8by7 Or literally anything else.

And no I don't mean figuratively xD

I could go on at some length.

Your/You're

Their/There/They're

You get the idea. Hopefully.

@Byron8by7 To be fair the your/you're error is a lazy typing mistake.

Sometimes, yes, but not always. I have seen "your" used incorrectly with an alarming degree of consistency.
