Continually vs continuously vs continuingly
I therefore preach continually the doctrine of the fraternal association of our peoples...
From what I remember (please correct me if I'm wrong) continuous is repetitive, whereas continuing is uninterrupted. E.g. "continuous pounding on the wall", but "continuing array of numbers". What about continual - is it repetitive or uninterrupted?
