Multiple dictionaries recognize the usage of "hone in" to mean "sharpening" your focus on something rather than "home in" which is to move towards something.

Dictionaries also (incorrectly) recognize "literally" to mean "figuratively". They aren't exactly a compelling source these days.

  • Show me one.

    When "literally" is used in a figurative way, it's an intensifier. It means "very much". It never means "figuratively".
