Stuck on Dark Souls boss

I've been trying to beat the Asylum Demon in Dark Souls for hours now and I just can't seem to get it right. I've watched a few videos, read some strategies online, but every time I think I've got it down, I end up getting destroyed. I'm starting to get really frustrated because I know I'm close, but I just can't seem to execute. Has anyone else had trouble with this guy? What's your strategy for taking him down? I'm playing on PC with a keyboard and mouse, if that makes a difference. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but at this point, I'm willing to try anything.

Why do people overuse 'literally' when they mean 'figuratively'?

I've been sitting here stewing over this for weeks. How did 'literally' become a synonym for 'figuratively'? It's not like the word means what it says. If I say I got 'literally' killed in a game, did I die 100% of the time? No, I probably sucked harder than a black hole. But now I have to hear some self-appointed grammar police correct me like I'm a kindergarten dropout for using it the right way. I get it—language evolves. But when did 'evolves' become code for 'rotten beyond recognition'? I'm not some linguistic purist. I eat my own words when they're stale. But this specific death of precision? It's like watching a chef pour salt into their salt shaker. Am I the only one who finds this grating, or is everyone just fine with turning a precise word into a meaningless buzzword?
