Correctly, “literally” should be used when a turn of phrase usually employed in a metaphorical sense enjoys a rare moment of non-metaphorical applicability: the phrase becomes true in a literal, words-meaning-exactly-what-they-say sense.

Literally inception.... "We have to go deeper"[/quote]

i think you're raising a grammar issue for no reason. and it's not even an issue. I still do not understand why you're calling it out. most grammar nazi's call it out when it's used as a hyperbole. but not it's not in this case.

???? I wasn't calling anyone out?

I just thought it was a funny comment, and I wanted to make my own funny comment. Sorry for the confusion.

PS I am the last person that should/could be a grammar nazi.

At this point, with 9 hours to go, whether it's a ding or an invite, the decision has already been made. They are probably just uploading the results now.

Friends,

Keep in mind that the interview invites did not come out exactly at 12:00 last week. Some people received their invites at 12:02 and some even at 12:20.

Good luck!

To everyone, regardless of your individual outcomes, congrats on having the courage to give it all you got. You're all awesome dudes and dudettes IMO.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Ditto. All jokes aside, wherever we end up I hope it's the best - and right - place for each one of us.
It's not about a certain school but about a certain attitude and path we decide to adopt.
Onward everyone!
