      “Literally” no longer means just “literally”, but also “figuratively”. Otherwise known as the opposite of the original definition.

      Using “dice” as a singular noun dates back the 1400s. I think it’s been in circulation long enough to be commonly accepted by now.

        And if I say “die” in regards to a single object and “dice” for plural, you and everyone else still understands what I’m talking about. Isn’t language neat?

          Yeah? That’s what I said above - either can correctly be used. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.
