Quick Sentence Review.

I have written the below, just wanted to make sure that it seemed ok.

'I didn't know much about stillbirths, actually, I was completely uneducated on the subject.'

Does that seem alright? I just had some concerns over the word 'actually'.
  

Top answer

The words are OK but the punctuation is not quite right. There are various options, depending on which part you want "actually" to apply to. For example: I didn't know much about stillbirths; actually, I was completely uneducated on the subject.
