How to use actuality in a sentence?

1. Bryant McGill:

   Your message means less than the way the message is delivered, because in actuality, the way the message is delivered, IS the message.

2. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, German Ideology, Chapter 3:

   One of the most difficult tasks confronting philosophers is to descend from the world of thought to the actual world. Language is the immediate actuality of thought. Just as philosophers have given thought an independent existence, so they were bound to make language into an independent realm.

3. Eugène Ionesco:

   For me, it is as though at every moment the actual world had completely lost its actuality. As though there was nothing there; as though there were no foundations for anything or as though it escaped us. Only one thing, however, is vividly present: the constant tearing of the veil of appearances; the constant destruction of everything in construction. Nothing holds together, everything falls apart.

4. Butler D. Shaffer:

   Our lack of constant awareness has also permitted us to accept definitions of freedom that are not necessarily consistent with the actuality of being free. Because we have learned to confuse the word with the reality the word seeks to describe, our vocabulary has become riddled with distorted and contradictory meanings smuggled into the language.

5. Harold Mesick:

   There has been no offer of any physical evidence at this point, my client is entitled to the presumption of innocence. That means he is absolutely not guilty. As far as the charges go, my client is not guilty in actuality and not guilty under the law.
