It isn't grammar, it's word definitions.

I hope this helps.

For the fact you responded? Or the fact you had to edit it to get it right?
Both. When I first responded, my spell check automatically corrected his mis-spelling after I'd bolded it... Curse you, clever computers.

Programmer?

While I fully appreciate that iteration is what it is and does not require a 're', also that to begin iterating again would be another series of iterations rather that a 'reiteration', it is the normal usage in English sentences;
reiterate
"Say something again or a number of times, typically for emphasis or clarity"

So does correct usage annoy you that much?

OK I'll bite...

You weren't trying to help, you were being a pedantic twunt, you were also wrong.
My statement used media, the pluralisation of medium in error, this was grammatical not as you incorrectly claim

PH"ers are anal about their grammar. Well, some are, to the point they take their past participles and use them as anal dilators. Best to ignorz.

The fact that we're now in 2016 and yet many forum users STILL don't know when to use lose or loose correctly! FFS, how difficult is this?

There are so many sub forums now that even at peak times, The Lounge can be surprisingly quiet.

The mobile version of the forums is fking diabolical - like a step back to the year 2000 when most of us were still on dial up!

People who think they are funny by constantly banging on about frozen sausages in lawns etc. Give it a rest. It wasn't that funny first time round so don't expect it to be any funnier for the 129th time.

Despite the site being called "Oxford Dictionaries", it is in fact, an American site.

So, its definitions are not applicable in the U.K.

I hope this helps.

This is due to our socialist education system, in which education no longer matters. Far more important is having the correct lefty attitudes towards political correctness, multiculturalism, diversity, cultural Marxism, global warming, bankers, etc. Everyone less than 30 has been brainwashed with this rubbish instead of being educated.
