Is the EV transformation of the market over hyped ?

Why do people persist in denying that words actually have meanings? "Reading between the lines" when a single word is what is objected to?

Why not simply use the correct word that is called for in this instance: "figuratively"?

If necessary drag out the dictionary, rather than rationalize an incorrect word usage.

FWIW, incorrect word usage is just one of those things that trips my trigger. Can't help it. I think in a prior life I was a librarian, or an English teacher. :)
