  • I didn’t even know people do this wtf… The only explanation I could fathom would be some kind of over use of the OED’s fourth definition:

    1. (1797) – (A body of) non-fictional books and writings published on a particular subject.

    The key is “on a particular subject.” When referring to literature in general, it refers to literally any written work (including letters, advertising, etc.). I very much sympathize with your frustration…
