Ditch These Verbal Redundancies & Appear Smarter!

[LoShiNi]

Communication is an art and written communication more so. In face-to-face or voice communication, our expressions and voice modulation play important roles in getting our message across. However, in written communication, you have nothing but words to communicate (ignore emoticons and smileys for now). Hence, it is imperative that our words and sentences be not only grammatically correct, but also be concise without repetitive clutter. We hear phrases such as free gifts and past history so often that it’s easy to overlook the redundancy in them. Gifts are, by definition, free and all history happens in the past, so ‘free’ and ‘past’ are actually redundant! In this article, we look at some common redundant words and phrases that we use in our daily lives.
