Title: The "Actually" Game
Post by: Shadow6 on July 05, 2005, 10:09:27 PM
I have recently noticed that the local TV news people tend to overuse the word "actually".  most of the live reporters use the word a lot, and I heard Fox 23 use four "actuallies" in two minutes from the anchor desk.  

Let's play a game.  Wednesday, when you watch the evening news, tally the use of the word "actually", and we'll see which local TV news shows, by time and channel, use "actually" the most.
