      Hate when I catch myself "Well, actually"ing. I’ll either try to reword it to not sound so dickish or I’ll discard it if I think it’s not actually helpful or interesting.

        I think I’ve eliminated the “[well, ]actually” from my speech patterns (unless using it sparingly for comedic effect) due to the memes as well. Turns out the dumb internet image macros can have a positive impact after all.

        Just omit either “well” or “actually”. Maybe swap both for “surprisingly” or “unfortunately” depending on the context of the correction. I understand the struggle :(
