What is the difference?
- 1Timing: Recurringly implies that the action happens repeatedly but not necessarily in a predictable pattern, while repeatedly suggests that the action happens in a consistent and predictable manner.
- 2Consistency: Recurringly suggests that the action may not happen every time, while repeatedly implies that the action happens every time.
- 3Duration: Recurringly suggests that the action happens over a longer period of time, while repeatedly can refer to a shorter period of time.
- 4Intensity: Recurringly suggests a less intense repetition, while repeatedly implies a stronger or more forceful repetition.
- 5Usage: Recurringly is less common than repeatedly and may be used in more formal contexts.
Remember this!
Recurringly and repeatedly both describe actions that happen more than once, but there are differences in their timing, consistency, duration, intensity, and usage. Recurringly implies that the action happens repeatedly but not necessarily in a predictable pattern, while repeatedly suggests that the action happens in a consistent and predictable manner. Recurringly is less common and may be used in more formal contexts.
