- While actualizado works for software, telling a friend you are actualizando them about your life sounds like you are treating them as a computer program. Instead, speakers use poner al día, which literally means 'to put someone to the day'.
- In Spanish, the adverb actualmente looks identical to the English word 'actually', but it never means 'in fact'. It exclusively means 'currently' or 'at this moment'.
