What's the difference between Continually and continuously?
I don't think so, no.
i was kind of hoping to impress with a question about the different uses of the present perfect and past simple tenses.
the second and third conditionals would do.
Certainly, if you are the kind of pillock that thinks that the adjective "loose" is the same thing as the verb "lose".

Does inventory have a silent o ?
what is the difference between inquire and enquire?
^^
it does, yes.
Which is correct ?
1.Go into the drawer
2.Open the drawer
Note: this is a trick question as i already know the answer.
the difference between continually and continuously is non existent. these days at least.
i guess there are exceptions in usage.
"He types continuously" sounds better than the alternative.
But...........

not exactly a grammar Q but can you please explain why the double "ll" at the start of the word Llanelli is pronounced "kl" while the double "ll" in the middle of the word is pronounced "ll"...Originally Posted by ChiangMai noon

the double l at the beginning of llanelli and the middele one are pronounced exactly the same as a Welsh 'll' which sounds nothing like l.
only english people pronounce it 'kl'.

None whatsoever, use either one as you please.
For me it is more natural to use coninuously after the verb and continually before it.
i.e, she moans continuously.
she is continually moaning.

Modern usage = euphemism for being lazy.
A fan belt is a continuous strip of rubber. You can't say it is a continual strip of rubber.
