Let me start this little series with a popular false friend. This is the name given to words that look like a German word, but have a different meaning, sometimes funny, sometimes embarrassing.
Look at the word actual which in English means something exists in act and not only potentially.
"Google Video to refund actual money, not just credits."
It is not to be confused with the German aktuell which translates to 'currently' or 'presently'.
