Okay, when you say something is different and then don't explain how you think it's different I get technical. This is right off the merriam-webster website. You are right, they are different. But in what we are talking about, I don't see a difference. Something that is repetitive is meant to be repeated. Please inform me on how the difference in these two words matter.

I think something can be repeatable without being repetitious. You can repeat a level of Halo, but you might try going a different way, or using different weapons, or try to take the warthog all the way to the end this time. All of these are stimulating new experiences. When something is repetitive, this implies a mindless sameness. This describes most grind I think, especially if efficiency is a concern.
