Do you ever get something stuck in your mind? I mean for years! That is happening to me and I am going to address it so I maybe can get it out of my mind forever!
When I was in high school I distinctly remember my English teacher asking a question. I am not sure if she was just trying to drive us nuts or if she really wanted to know the answer.
The question was : what is the difference between continual and continuous?
I have no idea what I answered then, but today I looked it up in the dictionary just to see what it said.
Continual: continuing indefinitely without interruption.
Continuous: unbroken, steadily recurring.
So there Miss Mrs. whoever you were. I'm quite sure she is deceased by now.
