Don’t use the word ‘Actually’ when speaking or writing! I despise when the filler word ‘Actually’ is used to qualify any statement. It’s terrible English. It’s a mind fart worse than ‘uh’ in any speech.
When you say ‘Actually’ I don’t think you’ve lent authenticity to anything you’ve said. I think you’re hunting to validate yourself, and it’s redundant and disingenuous.
Stop it!
To hell with your attempts to be cute or en vogue with crappy vernacular. It’s irritating.
