It's literally becoming okay to use "literally" incorrectly.

it's never ok. It is the badge that identifies the idiot.

It has literally become, quite annoying.

No comma required.

Oh thank god you're here to help. So ok, how would you suggest I convey the pause I was looking for? You know... like... if you wanted... people... to read a line... like... William... Shatner? Except not with that dramatic of a pause? Please help, I'm so lost without your astounding GP power. (Oh shoot, probably didn't need that last one either. Or these parentheses. I'm sooooooo, sorry.)

Wow. That's a strong reaction. I will give you full points for the William Shatner reference. In fact, when you mentioned his name, I could hear your original comment in his voice. It was quite funny. That being said, your response to me was pretty rude. That's okay. I'm used to people using the anonymity of Reddit as an excuse for being ignorant.

Wait, so one, "unnecessary," comma makes me ignorant or what exactly am I being ignorant about? And sorry you thought the response was rude but what do you expect when you play Officer Petty of the Grammar Police? Not to mention you didn't even answer my question about how I was supposed to convey the intended pacing of my comment without the use of a comma. But that's ok, I'm used to people using the anonymity of Reddit as an excuse for being petty tools.

Literally is its own antonym. It has also been like that for decades

You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means
