Pronunciation note
By far the most common pronunciation of again, in all parts of the United States, is
[uh-gen] , with the same vowel heard in yet and pep. The pronunciation [uh-geyn], rhyming with pain, occurs chiefly in the Atlantic states. Again said as [uh-gin], with the vowel of pit or sip, or with a vowel somewhere between [e] and [i], is the common pronunciation in much of the South, where [e] and [i] tend to become neutralized, or more like one another, before [m] and [n], leading to a lack of noticeable distinction between such pairs as pen and pin, ten and tin.

again and again
Repeatedly, often, as in I've told you again and again, don't turn up the heat. This idiom uses repetition for the purpose of emphasis (as does its synonym, over and over). Shakespeare used it in Othello (1:3): "I have told thee often, and I retell thee again and again." [c. 1600]
