Hardly likely, Paul, especially since you've had more Latin than me.
What's really going on with "acutally" is of course a minor bit of
digital dyslexia. And what made things complicated here was that in
my great hurry, I forgot to mention that I arrived at Fowler's
condemnation of "actuality," and the extended mini polemic that
ensued, by following Tim's suggested reading a few posts back.
