I installed this as a joke two or so years ago and recently I've been reading an online story and it confused the hell out of me. I just now remembered I had this installed and it was hidden so I couldn't see it. I just accidentally pranked myself.

It got old fast and I got rid of it. Trouble is, its effects still persist. I reinstalled and disabled it, but it's still a problem. You'll regret getting this if you ever try to get rid of it.

I installed this in April 2014, then forgot about it. In October I was wondering why the hell people never use the word "literally" any more, even when they could. Blogs, news articles, tweets, all using the word figuratively when appropriate (good) and when inappropriate (bad). It was very strange and I was starting to get a bit grumpy about the failure of the youth of today. Then I realised what the problem is. Great extension, just 4 stars for figuratively confusing me for figuratively six months.

Hi, really like the idea, is there any chance I can get the source to make a version that replaces "addicting" with "addictive"? That's my pet peeve.
