Single inverted commas

Although it is usual to enclose a word under discussion in single inverted commas, I have chosen instead to emphasise it in red to prevent confusion with apostrophes.

CONTINUOUS and CONTINUAL

Continuous means without a break: The noise from his lawn-mower was continuous.
Continual means repeated frequently but with pauses between.  He received continual
bad reports.
A good way to remember is that continuous noises often make you angry and want to hiss:
continoussssss.
