General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / solicitors letter
Italian term or phrase: ennesimo
Not a legal term but from a solicitors letter is complaining that the service provided has broken down for the "ennesimo" time.

I would translate this as "umpteenth", but not sure a solicitor would use this word.

Suggestions?
