Well, you know, sometimes things need to be said twice, okay?! ):



I wanted to be lazy and just keep the tautologies there. I mean, do regular readers care THAT much? I don't think so, but srs bsns readers would (as I call them). Still, it's best if they were taken out anyway.

Anyone have any problems with these? Usually they come in two words or two sentences. This is why a dictionary is handy. @_____@!

I'm afraid not only will your readers not like it but an editor or publisher would not like it. We writers have to suck up our pride and take the hit to the grammatical structures of our sentences smile
Trust me, there are very picky readers out there!

What on earth is a tautology?

Wikipedia wasn't very helpful on this one. wink
