@MohammadHedayati This, I guess, is the answer OP seeks. Could you provide some reference and preferably post this as an answer?

But is it accepted as a standard or convention? Is it the predominantly used alternative? Because even I am seriously interested to know.

comment Replacing actually with a more formal alternative
The use of greatly and similar qualifying words/ phrases may always be contested in an academic report. What is great to you may not be (so) great to another objective reader/ reviewer. Generally, the "by about thirty per cent" would take the place of greatly, leaving it to the reader to decide how significant thirty per cent is.

However, let's not take my answer alone. I suggest we wait for any better ideas further down.

comment How do I keep up with current written English language?
@RenéVanBelzen: English is different from most other languages. It (She) is far too much of a fashionista who dresses differently in different places and at different times, yet always seems to get it right and never fails to impress!

@justkt: Now I see the point, I think. "...official version of some languages (France has..." that seems to explain the difference in perspectives.

Quite likely. However, there are significant differences between AmEng and other dialects in spelling, sentence structure, even the use of words, so much so that many who are not native speakers of AmEng fail to understand correctly.
