I wish people would stop using this word. I wish it were wiped from the English language.
Who would like to join the anti-actually movement with me?

Thanks! Is that pronounced "on fate" or "on fay"? Or what? Sorry, my French is awful.

Quote:
It is way overused. It's become the new "um" or "like." "I was actually going to the store." "I actually like that." Sometimes it can be used for emphasis: "Do you like that?" "Actually I do!" (To emphasize that you're surprised you like it.)

I still think it's better than over-usage of the word "totally"
