Hello,
My reference grammar books says that sometimes both the present perfect and the present perfect continuous work in the sentence, "with a slight difference of emphasis". The sad thing is it doesn't say what that "slight difference of emphasis is". Can you help? The sentences given are:
a) Harry has been working the same job for 30 years.
b) Harry has worked the same job for thirty years.
Thank you.
