     s/literal/literate/

     Both words descend ultimately from the Latin "littera" meaning
"letter," both in the sense of "glyph" and of "epistle."  But in
English

     - "literal" means "as written in Scripture" or "like whut it sez"

     - "literate" means "lettered" as in "able to read and write" or
       "educated, cultured"

     Java's much easier than English.

     Oh, yeah: "liter" means "a little more than a quart" or "a little
less than a quart," depending on whether the Atlantic is to your East
or your West.  That's known as "spatial relativity."
