continually vs. continuously

0OK, which is correct?02br
02br
001. The adverb "01i00continually02i00" is different from "01i00continuously02i00", as in "clock is continually wound to keep it continuously going" (as suggested by Patricia T. O'Connor in "Woe Is I: The Grammarphobe's Guide to Better English in Plain English"). (if I remember this source correctly)02br
02br
002. The two have the same meaning, as in something happens continually or continuously (as suggested by Edwin Carpenter in "Confusable Words").02br
