A pet hate of mine is when "literally" is used to describe things that cannot possibly be literal. My jaw literally drops to the floor.

A while ago at a beach I saw two teenagers getting ready to dive into the water. Judging by their accent, they were Brits.

The little girl (aged maybe 11-12) would say “literally” after every other word. After much hesitation, they finally dive down, and as soon as she popped her head out of the water, she said “the water’s literally so cold”.

Mom and/or dad are using “literally” a little too much?

To me, none is already none. Whatsoever does not make it more none.
