kayballard commented on the word retry
The retry is an invention of Daniele Di Gregorio, ikaro @ikaronet It is a variation of a retweet (RT) The Retry was designed by Daniele as a somewhat tactful way to say, "based on your response to my tweet, I think you are rather dense. Therefore, I shall retweet in the form of a 'retry' to give you an opportunity to get it right." LOL
