redundancies
There are many examples of redundancies in these pages: phrases which say twice what needs to be said only once, like “past history."Advertisers are particularly liable to redundancy in hyping theiroffers: “as an added bonus” (as a bonus), “preplan” (plan), and “freegift” (but look out for the shipping charges!). Two other commonredundancies which are clearly errors are “and plus” (plus) and “endresult” (result). But some other redundancies are contained in phrasessanctioned by tradition: “safe haven,” “hot water heater,” “newbeginning,” and “tuna fish."
