As I proofread the letter something inside me told me that "repetitive" might be a more commonly used form, but something else inside me said that in this situation "repetitious" just seemed more appropriate. Haven't checked other resources but was happy to see that at least someone else out there shares my intuition on these shades of connotation. | |
