Redundancy is making a clarification that doesn't have to be made, the equivalent of saying the same thing twice. We do it incessantly all the time. Redundancies include:
- connect them together
- genuine sincerity
- bobbing its head up and down
- nodding his head (we don't nod anything else!)
- shrugging his shoulders
- visible to the eye (duh)
- we were assuming in our minds
- scattered here and there
- gasped for air
- hot embers
- retreating back
- a brief second
- at this point in time
- pacing back and forth
What are your favorite redundancies?

A couple I hear often: "gather together" (as though we can gather apart -- though in the days of Zoom . . . , and "respond back."
