Has anyone else noticed widespread abuse of the work "literal"?

It’s driving me nuts!! It seems like suddenly no one understands what the word means – on the radio, TV broadcasters (if public speaking is your job, shouldn’t you speak correctly?) Example: “I was so happy, I was literally walking on the moon.” I hear a misuse almost every day. Are people just lingually lazy?
