   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, "It actually exists," "It has actually been
          done." Thus its reality is shown by its actuality.
          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.
          [1913 Webster]

          [1913 Webster]

                Our simple ideas are all real; all agree to the
                reality of things.                --Locke.
          [1913 Webster]
