sometime I see the word "continued "put before a noun,sunch as, continued work, In some case, continuing work is expressed,:-?:
Thanks!
I w[STRIKE]a[/STRIKE]*onder If I can understand your explanation in sunch way that continued work refers to very same work is still being done, the continuing work implies that the work of the same kind, other than same work, is being done.
'Continuing education' is quite a strong collocation. I've never heard the p-pl here.Thanks!
Another example is refered to a situation that a student is taking a continuing education, that is, the sudent is taking different subjects from his or her previous subjects, and he or she is still studing and being received education. Let us make a change in situsation, if we say that the student is taking a continued education , whether or not that means the unfinished education is still being taken? when the sudent complete all the subjects required, we only can describe that the student has completed his continuing education other than continued education.
Oh, I have carelessly confused wonder with wander in form and pronounciation for a long time. Thank you so much!That's an interesting generalization, though I'm not sure I'd be prepared to make it. ;-)

*This is quite a common slip, especially in students whose mother tongue has an [a] sound - who hear /ʌ/ and think 'a'. 'Wonder' is /'wʌndə/; 'wander' [="move erratically"] is /'wɔndǝ/.

Bob's "That's an interesting generalization" could be a polite way of saying that it's a pretty unlikely one.I am looking forward your further verification on my "interesting" generalization concerning the difference between continued and continuing.
You are worrying far too much about this. ...
