author=Vivly] See how you went for those tautologies that you could
easily do justice to. Check the others listed and analyse.[/quote]

don't know if i read correctly but i thought i saw,'you are wrong on several counts'. By that i think the young man meant that not all are correct eventhough some are. Hope it's not what i'm thinking,hope the heat and pressure is not getting under your skin.

Ladies and gentlemen! Lets all calm down and have a few glasses of wine ....hrrrmmm. Tautologists :-).

Vivly:

9.Safe haven. Literature gurus, Is there such thing as unsafe haven? Havens are by their definitions safe places.

11. General public. This is the most common. All those news being addressed to the general public, unless you're treating certain members of the public as special, all members of the public are general.

E be like say you sabi English pass dictionary.

This thread is too pedantic for my liking. Tautology dey different from the evolving use of 'emphasis' in current English usage.

While some of the cited examples are ungrammatical/incorrect and admittedly tautological, others are essentially 'emphatic' reinforcements. . . .and are in accordance with the EVOLVING rules of grammar. Language is NOT static; it evolves.

Google is the most comprehensive and trustworthy dictionary these days.

infact, the use of every language evolves from time to time. Well said ....

Vivly: .I wonder why they are liking that your post. Those are tautologies for christ's sake. Some are rightly used and others are blatantly abused. Why are you contradicting yourself Uyi, are you trying to debunk the facts, cuz in some instances, your post claims otherwise. Don't just argue for the sake of argument please.

Frown face. Seriously, is there any other thing we frown? Why not say frown alone.


Shrug one's shoulders Same thing for frown.

Dry lake.If a lake has dried up, it is no longer a lake.

Original copy A copy is not original. It is just a copy.

Yes, you can frown your ANUS!

Ofcourse but it can be an original copy if there have been many other copies made from it.

homesteady: Uyi, it is still tautology!

logically but it does nt make it wrong

Vivly: In as much as some of the facts are incorrect, they are still tautologies. A deeper view, breakdown of the concepts will show this. Most of those facts are accepted as spoken english, maybe due to constant usage but it doesn't change the fact that it's a tautology

what is the point you are trying to prove? In as much as it is accepted,that makes it correct. in otherwords, it is not tautology.

Dannylux: Interesting.. This is exactly why I wanna marry Vivly.

Ugh! Goodluck bro, hope u got pickup lines clean frm tautological errs...''exactly why''
Hey V cut him some slacks, wil ya?

I disagree with below two.

18.Live recording. Damn. All recordings are live. Music and celebrity section please.
This simply means you are recording and its live on air. That is to say that audience are hearing or watching while you are in the studio.

12.In one way or another. If it's not true in one way, then it's not freaking true. How can something be true in both ways?
This is not also about the truth or not the truth. It's about action. For example, your boss tells you "you just have to do it in one way or another". It means the assignment is sacrosanct else, you are fired!

Se oti gbo?

I have really learnt a lot...thumbs up to all the contributors. Una gbalie na.

leavestory: This is one of the reasons why this country is not moving forward!!!!we take someone else tradition,culture or language seriously more than ours!!!when u see a spanish man he or she is proud of the spanish language,when you see a french man or woman they are always very proud of their language which is french!!!you meet an italian man or woman they are always very proud of the italian language but here in nigeria we take foreign languages seriously than our own languages!!!!!if we feel that taking english language more seriously is what makes us very civilised then we are very wrong because are we trying to say the people in france,italy,spain,uk,and the others are not civilised that is why they take their own language seriously than any other language?we should learn from them,I weep for this country when I see some nigerians takes things too personal on english language even more than the people that owns the language!!!!!!

Vivly: I just saw one of your post posts and honestly, you have no right to say I'm being pedantic. Goodnight!

vivly my friend, the more you try to paint ur wrongs right, the more u helplessly murder the english which you so much claim to know . Why not give it up and agree that noone including you is perfect rather than ridiculing yourself in the name fighting a 'failing' course
