Gotcha. Didn't mean that as a jab against how you watch it. Just weighing my options. I've streamed stuff off Hulu and Amazon Prime so it's not like I'm against 2.0 channel audio.

I'll keep my eye on season two for the next week or so on Amazon. Maybe there will be a sale.

Yeah, Dead Set was great. I wouldn't mind watching it again actually.

It's pretty much agreed by a lot of zombie fiction authors that we will either band together or go at one another's throats if there was a zombie apocalypse. In The Zombie Survival Guide, Brooks warns of scavengers and nomads as they can be as dangerous as zombies, and in Romero's films the nomads are very deadly to come across. The Walking Dead really amped up that element.

Wonderful and terrifying movie. That final scene with shutters was incredible.

Is that the TV miniseries from the UK about the Big Brother scenario?

For the record, "iterate" means "Perform or utter repeatedly"... You will again say again say again again?

"Reiterate" is not a real word.

You can RE-insert any verb. The definition of "re-iterate" is to say again again. Technically it is NOT a word but has been added to the dictionary through/despite its constant misuse. They decide to add words based on their accepted use in spoken English - like xeroxing.

So reiterate has become a real word.

Can I use the damn word in Scrabble? If the answer is "yes" then it's a real word.

You make it sound as if the word just sprang into use within the last decade. According to the Merriam Webster definition of reiterate:

Origin of REITERATE
Middle English, from Latin reiteratus, past participle of reiterare to repeat, from re- + iterare to iterate
First Known Use: 15th century
Doesn't sound like a recent "misuse" case to me at all.

This is the only appropriate reply, so I thought I'd reiterate it.

I'll tolerate "reiterate." It's "irregardless" where I draw the line. I don't care if it's one dictionary or not, it shouldn't be a word, and it irritates the hell out of me.
