Eliminate Redundant Words
|
Eliminate Redundant Words  English is a complicated language. Yet, we continue to make it more difficult by adding extra words to simple phrases. They become common practice, when in fact, they are just extra and unnecessary. Here are some great examples where we should stop being so extra! Remember, less is more!  Forever and Ever Did you ever describe someone as droning on and on (and on!) forever and ever? No need to add “and ever” to descriptions of forever. Daily Writing Tipsrecommends you avoid using the phrase, because forever is, by definition, endless.  New Innovations According to Oxford Dictionary, “new” already exists within the definition of innovation, which is a new method, idea, or product. So if you want to win the prize for redundancy, go ahead and describe something as a “fresh new idea innovation product method.”  Blatantly Obvious According to Grammarist, redundancies are “word overflows.” Blatant and obvious mean the same thing. There’s no need to descriptively modify one term with the other unless you want a deluge of word overflow, then by all means, go for it!  Please RSVP You know you should RSVP for parties, but what do the letters stand for? Respond So Verification Promulgates? Actually, it’s a French phrase. RSVP refers to “Répondez s’il vous plaît,” which translates to “respond if you please.” Adding the “please” is redundant.  Unexpected Surprise All surprises are naturally unexpected. This phrase is redundant, and you’ll often find it used in cases that weren’t, in fact, surprising. Ever hear anyone claim, “What an unexpected surprise!” after they’ve opened your gift? Or when you show up uninvited at dinnertime?  Advance Warning It’s not really a warning if it doesn’t occur before whatever it is you’re being warned about. The weather centres don’t give warnings about storms that have already moved on. All proper warnings happen in advance.  Sudden Impulse Trying to have an impulse that’s not sudden. A true impulse can’t be pre-planned. You just have to let it happen involuntarily according to the dictionary definition. All impulses will be of the sudden sort. Avoid redundancy when describing them.  End Result Technically, the result (for whatever) will occur at the end (of whatever). The result is the conclusion, the outcome, the final product, the finish. In other words, the result is the end. Feel free to use “result” or “end,” but never both. End redundant results! Definition of redundant: not or no longer needed or useful; superfluous |

[image] No doubt many of the phrases listed above will be familiar. In today's fast-paced world, unnecessary words are cumbersome. A friend and fellow blogger, lives by the credo, "less is more". Do you find yourself using more when less would suffice?

I work with engineers and they get very "wordy" with some of their explanations/descriptions. I then "trim the fat" because it feels cumbersome and confusing. But I'm also guilty of doing the same.

No. (How's that for being concise?)

HOT WATER HEATER...LOL!!

Ohhhh..it grates a nerve when someone writes ( or says ) " I, myself ".....lol...its like we know already. I dont think the redundancies of the world will ever fade forever...lol~

Good tips, I’m definitely guilty of some of these. Although my defence would be that sometimes you might want to use a redundant word here or there to emphasise or intentionally exaggerate a point. However, I will try my best not to over exaggerate in future

I'm with you on this capaign. I think we should be mean using our words. Pause words like however, nevertheless and nonetheless, all common in academic writing, can be immediately elimated. People often write 'in my personal opinon' as if an opinion can be impersonal!

Many people are guilty of those. One of my pet peeves revolves around the auto industry. People referring to the VIN number. VIN is Vehicle Identification Number. No need to say number after VIN.
