« I think we have to give David a formal written warning as it is the umpteenth time I have had to speak to him about arriving late for work. » To say/do something for the umpteenth time

Je pense que nous allons devoir donner un avertissement écrit à David, car c’est la énième fois qu’on le convoque concernant ses retards au travail.
