I was really surprised to see that the word "actuality" was not included in the translation of the word of the day. Isn't that the literal translation of actualidad?

False friend:
actualidad = current/present situation/affairs
actuality = realidad (=reality)
Notice that
actual [Spa.] = current, present
actual [Eng.] = real, exacto
actualmente = nowadays
actually = de hecho (=in fact)
