Always is a word to do without or else be a word seldom used. It seems to me to be one of the most consistently misused words in C-D. How does anyone think they know what anyone else always does, or not, or how anyone else will always agree, or not, or how everyone else always thinks or doesn't think?
I think it's figurative, like when someone says that they literally died laughing. Now, that would be a sight! It always gets to me... Oh, no! I always do that!
humorous/good-natured hyperbole is always welcome in my book
(not really, but there's a place for it)
Definitely a place for it, but so often it isn't used humorously. If I saw it usually used that way, I wouldn't have brought it up. I see it a lot in C-D used in an all encompassing sweeping statement as if it is a proven fact. That is the only usage this post is about.
