Not saying one is better than the other, but it's clearer for me when a writer uses (CONT'D).

This is how I use CONT'D. So you will be guaranteed to have a mediocre screenwriting career at least.

Well, f#ck. I'm guessing that's not the only thing that's gonna keep me at mediocre level.

Probably my blatant sexual misconduct.

Or embarrassing alcohol-induced tantrums.

Maybe the streaking through the quad with no one following?

But, at the very least, certainly the misuse of (CONT'D). That sh|t, unlike the rest, is im-f#cking-possible to overlook.
