Hi,

They're both right. Which one you'd use is a question of stylistic preference. The first is abbreviation by omission, the second is abbreviation by contraction.

what about con't. for the abbreviation of continued?
Thread is locked
con't wouldn't work grammatically...

the apostrophe is used in place of a missing letter, there is no letter missing between n and t in continued...

cont. is used (no apostrophe).
