PRONUNCIATION NOTE FOR AGAIN
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.

Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
Repeat again
Again means “another time” or “in return”
and always suggests the idea of “in addition,”
Therefore, it is superfluous in such expressions
as “repeat again” because the prefix re- has the meaning of again.
Say “Tell your story again” or “Retell your story,”
not “Retell your story again”;
“Repeat that, please,” not “Repeat that again, please.”
