Why does everyone in India...

sirensongs

...abuse the word "Actually"?

"ACKshully madame," is always the beginning of a sentence in which someone, who is trying to get out of doing their job, is trying to tell me they're just not going to do what I have already paid them to do.

or: When they are trying to tell me how much they know about something and I don't. Again, usually to avoid doing something.

Or: Just a way of saying "you may be right, but my uncle got me this job and I don't have to know what I'm talking about."

And a million other occasions.

Is this the first word they teach people in English language class here?
