Genuine/actual address

Hello,

I may be wrong but doesn't "I didn't give them my actual address, because I wanted to protect my privacy" sound more natural than "I didn't give them my genuine address..."? "Actual" gets more hits, and I was able to find more sentences. I don't know why, but I probably wouldn't use "genuine" here.


Thank you.

You are right. I never hear 'my genuine address'. I often hear 'my real address'.
