"continuité" : Ce terme, calqué de l'américain "continuity", porte à faux lorsqu'on l'emploie, ainsi que c'est l'usage courant à Radio-Canada, comme synonyme de "roman-fleuve", "feuilleton", "téléroman", "radioroman". En effet, "continuity" désigne "le découpage du scénario en scènes détaillées" (Giraud) et non pas ce qu'on appelle en anglais "serial", c'est-à-dire une émission à épisodes [ou "série"]. 3, record 2, French, - feuilleton
