Thank you for your continual support.

Is "continual" the correct adjective? Should it be "continuing" or "continued" instead?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
Either "continued" or "continuing" will work; I prefer continued.

@tanguatlay,
Thank you for the ongoing ludicrous folderol of asking the same questions over and over and over and over again and again and again and again.

@tanguatlay,
"continual" is an adjective or adverb and means "recurring at regular or irregular intervals" - "he continually interrupts when I am speaking".

"Continuing" is the present continuous and means "ongoing into the future".

"continued" is past tense: "he continued to interrupt all the time I was speaking".
