If we’re being pedantic…

if we’re being pedantic, i really hate the word ‘reiterate.’ it’s a nonsense: re = “again”, iter = “again.” the word is ‘iterate’, otherwise you’re saying it iterum atque iterum. [sorry]

and words like ‘television’ that have greek prefixes and latin suffixes. it just isn’t right…
