brian m. carlsonIn many languages, the adverb with the root "actual" means "at the present time." However, this usage is considered dated or even archaic in English, and for referring to events occurring at the present time, we usually prefer "currently" or "presently". "Actually" is commonly used in modern English only for the meaning of "in fact" or to express a contrast with what is expected.
Since the documentation refers to the available options at the present time (that is, at the time of writing) instead of drawing a contrast, let's switch to "currently," which both is commonly used and sounds less formal than "presently."
Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> --- This is a minor issue I noticed one day and thought I'd send a patch for. I should point out that English differs from virtually every other language I can find that uses something like "actual", so this is an easy mistake to make.
