We show that, contrarily to the widespread belief, in quantum mechanics repeatable measurements are not necessarily described by orthogonal projectors--the customary paradigm of "observable". Nonorthogonal repeatability, however, occurs only for infinite dimensions. We also show that when a non orthogonal repeatable measurement is performed, the measured system retains some "memory" of the number of times that the measurement has been performed.
