Why do people misuse so many words? Some commonly misused words are 'gay' and 'retarded', but now why are people starting to misuse 'legit'? Seriously. Just because your typing has improved doesn't mean you can start sticking in random words you don't even know the meaning to. Stick to your 5th grade vocabulary. Wait, my mistake, legit isn't even a confusing word. It just means real, or not fake. How do you go wrong with that? "I'm like legit loving this" ..."I'm like real loving this?" What! O_o This makes me feel even less brain dead than I really am.
