Hehehe, Sir Trevor McDonald
It's English lessons now, is it?? God help us (LOL))

"Your heading "DIPLOMATIC ISOLATION CONTINUES" is not even correct. Continues
is a verb transitive and CONTINUOUS was what it was supposed to be as an
adjective."

Are you sure you understood what you read in the dictionary as applied here.
Perhaps it's correct English in Brikama, but it sure is not in The Queen's
English. I reckon an English lesson from a Brufut school is in order for
Brikama people!!What do you think Pa Manneh, and Morrie Kebbeh???
Hehehehehe.
Good day Sir Trevor

NB. For those who are non UK Residents.
Sir Trevor is a broadcaster on ITN. He is originally from Trinidad, but he
speaks such perfect English that the Queen set up a royal commission (chaired
by him ofcourse) to look into how spoken English(by anglo-saxon british at
that) can be improved upon, called "Better Spoken English Initiative."
