Have you ever noticed how people use the word actually in conversation? It’s one of those small words that shows up all the time, but it doesn’t always mean the same thing. Sometimes it’s used to correct someone. Sometimes it adds new information. And sometimes it helps soften disagreement so you don’t sound too direct.
