      Syn: Actual; true; genuine; authentic.
  
      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, [bd]It actually exists,[b8] [bd]It has
                  actually been done.[b8] Thus its really is shown by
                  its actually. 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.
  
                           For he that but conceives a crime in thought,
                           Contracts the danger of an actual fault.

                           Our simple ideas are all real; all agree to the
                           reality of things.                        --Locke.
