     Usage: Real, Actual. Real represents a thing to be a
            substantive existence; as, a real, not imaginary,
            occurrence. Actual refers to it as acted or performed;
            and, hence, when we wish to prove a thing real, we
            often say, ``It actually exists,'' ``It has actually
            been done.'' Thus its reality is shown by its
            actuality. Actual, from this reference to being acted,
            has recently received a new signification, namely,
            present; as, the actual posture of affairs; since what
            is now in action, or going on, has, of course, a
            present existence. An actual fact; a real sentiment.
            [1913 Webster]
