"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!

Totally agree—“continue” sounds like it should keep going with what’s next, not skip stuff. It's counterintuitive because in plain English, "continue" feels like you're saying "proceed as normal," not "skip this iteration." A more beginner-friendly name might’ve been something like skip or next, but we're stuck with it now.
