Oh on a different matter; BBC radio 4 had in a brief news bulletin, an item which I’ve not heard subsequently, an interesting item which I do a terrible job at paraphrasing/sumarising.:-( It is ‘literally’ this lol hahahaha, in apostrophies, because the bBC indeed have got in trouble for saying something like ‘they litually have returned from hell and back again’ before now; um sorry as people rrightly used to correct them one cannot physically at any rate ‘litually’ return from hell and ‘back again’ not possible, so the Oxford English Dictionary has befriended their besieged news readers (the sort of thing that would have also been on Feedback this Afternoon) and they now say ‘literally’ can mean in effect virtually the same as ‘metaphorically’ so their ‘backs’ figuratively are now covered from the pedants metaphorical assaults, yes I can be one myself, didn’t know that Train Station was American though, a teacher told off a fellow member of my school class for using the phrhase when we were eleven years-olds as she said it was the term a five year old would use, I just think ‘railway station’ sounds more formal (won’t quite say ‘posh’) but more grand; that sort of thing compared to ‘train station’ I mean.:-)/*SMILE*
