"continue" might be the worst-named keyword in python. Like, consider this code: for i in range(100): if i % 5 == 0: continue print(i) It prints out numbers that are not multiples of 5. But if you give it to someone who is not experienced in python, they might think the exact opposite!

When the keyword it taken in this wrong meaning… that makes no sense. Because that makes no senses to put a keyword to continue to the next line. This is the usual execution path. So, even for not experienced (whatever Python or not), it is a big hint that the meaning of this keyword is something else.
