This subreddit isn't about pointing at laughing at other redditor's (sometimes) atrocious grammar. The overall goal of any submitter or reader should be to inform, and kindly. Not often, but on occasion, you come across a comment that you struggle to make sense of. Perhaps, in response to that comment, provide your best guess as to what the original author meant, and explain why you think that. We aren't here to stop the evolution of language. Supposedly incorrect usage of 'literally' should not be our main concern. There are also many users on this site whose native language isn't English. We have great potential to be able to help them understand some of the more complex concepts of English grammar.
