Content/contented ???
"He won't be content/contented until he has caused trouble for everyone." Which one is "better"?
I can't find a good explanation of the difference between these two adjectives (if there is one).
Hoping that English Forums can help me. Thank you.

Both are equally good when not used attributively, in other words, before a noun . Only contented is correct before a noun: a content ed person . CB
