You are correct, I said that because I posted before seeing your reply.

Years ago I was a new maintenance dispatcher for large auto company and it required constant radio communication with the tradesmen out in the plant. At times it was difficlult to understand the the message over the radio, so one day I said repeat...with in minuites a WW2 Marine vetern came storming into my dispatch office and told me to never ever say  repeat, because during the war it could be interpeted as RETREAT!!!

and really I don't have much time on my hands today but that incident has been in my head for over 30 years!
