- thomasmallen 18y ago<pedantism> 12% of that sentence was the word "actually." In all but the shortest sentences, it's strange to see an adverb as the most common word. Edit: Thought about this more, and some people almost certainly say "like" more than any other word. (Un)surprisingly, your sentence loses little meaning if the actuallies are replaced with likes, commas optional. </pedantism>
