Is there any difference between “sticking to” and “stuck on”?

Question

See these two expressions:

Every time I park my car here, there are tons of fliers stuck on the windshield when I come back to pick it up.

Every time I park my car here, there are tons of fliers sticking to the windshield when I come back to pick it up.

Are sticking to or stuck on both correct here in this context?

Answer 1

Short answer here: yes! Both are correct. They have no discernable difference in meaning and I'd say either is equally likely to be said. I can't think of any reason why you'd choose one or the other, so use either at will!
