GRAMMAR

One-two no-limit at Pete's -- I'm all-in for my last $29 and I get eyed-down by two opponents and a fat ivory-white mama cat lying on the shaggy carpet nursing her three smoky grey kittens. And though I haven't been paying much attention, I did notice that a while ago, the kittens were sucking on different nipples.
"Why are you continually staring at me?" I ask the dirty guy across from me.
"What're you talking about? I'm not constantly staring at you," he replies.
So, they eventually take all my chips and like always, I tell the world that I'm still a good person.
What is a good person? It means being able to make proper use of the words "continually" and "constantly". Unlike cat nipples, they are not interchangeable.
