Ahh Yes...
Those two words "Don't Stop" They can really prove that sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it. Those two little words can have totally different meanings with how you say them or in different situations.

For example a shouted
" DON'T STOP!!!" would probably mean danger

whereas a soft spoken or whispered
" don't stop........" can mean something else entirely.

I'll leave it up to you to figure out the possible situations where each usage may come into play.
