“F ree gifts ! Free gifts ! Let’s grab them!”
“Can’t wait for the final results of the elections!”
“ Combine together these ingredients and make a smooth dough.”
“ We will revert back to your queries in an hour.”
Do you notice the unnecessary repetitious words presence of which is not in any way improving the clarity of the statements ?
Not surprising, if you didn’t! And that’s because we all indulge in unnecessary repetition of words in the same sentence very often. That is redundancy . Redundancy can be avoided if it came in unintentionally, causing unnecessary wordiness in your writing and your speech.
Aren’t gifts always free ? Then why add the word free?
Why say final result when a result obviously occurs finally or at the end?
To combine is to bring multiple things together . Then why say combine together?
Revert means to go back, so revert back is repetition.
So, go grab your gift !
Wait patiently for the results !
Combine the ingredients smoothly and get the smoothest dough for your cookies!
Do revert to the queries and bring a smile on your cranky client’s face.
