"Damn you sir," George warns, "If this continues I will hold you suspect of
a sort of Regian
frivolity. The 'iteration' must needs be the initial statement, the
re-'iteration' must be the polysemous (in reply VOTE HERE). I'm trying to
move ahead, so while I am at it ..."

But, George, "iterance" means repetition.  Iteration is the process of
repeating. Reiteration is the process of repeating again.  How can one
reiterate something when one hasn't even iterated it yet? 

In the AP Style Guide, Kleenex, Tampex, Windex, Xerox, et al., are referred
to as service names, brand names, and trademarks.
