Actually, That’s Enough.

Hi,

Stop hurting your credibility by saying ‘actually’.

You’re aCtUaLlY giving people a reason to doubt you. You don’t want that now, do you?

You think you're adding validity to your statement; but it really comes off as uncertain.

You know what you want to say in your head –  grow a pair and say it.

Let’s give you an example. You’re pitching your company to an investor:

“We have 5,000 users” v. “We actually have 5,000 users” 


Which would you believe?

Why’d you say ‘actually’? Are you surprised you have 5,000 users? (not a good look).

Are you bragging? (also not a good look).

The word ‘actually’ aCtuAlLy doesn’t benefit you in any way. It’s a burden to watch.

What you assume makes you look confident aCtuAlLy makes you look like a dunce.

You’re hurting others’ credibility by saying  ‘actually’ - you might be offending someone.

Lets give you an example. Your friend opens up a new restaurant:

“This tastes great” v. ‘thiS ACtUaLLy taStEs greAt”

Which one aCtUaLlY sounds like a compliment?

WTF did you expect - are you surprised? Didn't think they could aCtuAlLy do it?

Yea, that’s right. – Using ‘actually’ makes you sound like a d*ck by throwing a jab at their credibility.

See the issue? The word aint sh*t - We say vote it off the island.
