Actually is one of my favorite words. Actually, it's my favorite word, since you can actually use it in so many ways. It's actually kind of weird, though, because when you say actually I think you're really saying really, and really isn't actually such a great word. Actually, really is actually kind of meaningless, actually meaning something like very, which is really pretty useless. That's actually why I use actually far more than I actually use really, and really more than I actually use very. Worst of all, though, is pretty, which I actually use far less than really, and really use less than very, actually, because pretty is actually completely meaningless, and I really actually pride myself on avoiding words that are really pretty meaningless.
