I’ll add one thing to this: “Position and hold” was once a valid phrase, that was changed to “line up and wait”, because (mostly foreign) pilots misinterpreted it to be “position and roll”.
I have had controllers tell me to “continue” [doing nothing] (“continue holding”, etc), and other times to “continue” [doing something] (“continue inbound”, etc), both of them “approved” phraseology. And I have also at times misinterpreted what they meant (or was uncertain what they meant and asked for clarification) around the use of “continue”. In my opinion, you should never be told to “continue” a negative (like holding short, which is a “negative”: that is, holding short is essentially not doing anything). Maybe a phraseology change to “remain holding”, etc would be better, leaving “continue” for positives (flying inbound, crossing a runway, etc).
My point being, the phraseology book has changed, and it will continue to change in the future.
