Things are not as they seem. False friends,a contribution

I have been following "false friends" questions for a while now.

There are four favorite "false friends'' that I regulary do battle with and continue to make errors in their use.

1) Últimamente = lately

2) Finalmente = ultimately

3) Realmente = actually

4) Actualmente = currently

Due to their similarity to english words it is still a vice of mine to misuse them.
