Adverb(ial) position

Post by Metamorfose » Mon Aug 29, 2005 2:54 pm

A quick one:

...becoming familiarized continually with the aspects of...

or

...becoming continually familiarized with the aspects of...

Which one is more natural (if one of them is more natural)?

I would suggest the most natural is
continually becoming familiarized
I don't like putting the adverb between 'familiarized' and 'with'; they should go together.
