i remember my dad telling me something when i was really young. i used the word 'actually', and he said that it was a very good word and he was proud that i knew it. it made me feel really smart. i was thinking about it just now, and i thought, i hear people use it all the time. even in high school, i'm pretty sure people used it. when i hear someone use a word that i didn't think they would know, its usually a big word. but when i hear normal words like 'actually' i don't even register that i heard the word. its normal. an every day thing. why would an adult even register enough that they heard it, to say it was a big word. i realized long ago that my dad wasn't the smartest stick in the faggot, so it finally dawned on me that he isn't even smart enough for 'actually' to be a normal word to him. sad, really.
