FFK Has A Poor Grammatical Expression With A Tautological Connotation by AmaraBea(op): 4:23pm On Dec 19, 2021

1. An *honour*, wrongly spelled *honor*, we use British spelling not American

2. Fruitful and productive connote the same idea (repetition).

3. Friend and brother doesn't tally, instead he should have used BFAM (brother from another mother).

4. Honor and privilege both imply nobility, he should have used just one of the words.

What a high-level tautology by one who claimed to have been educated abroad.

I can only rule out this.
Most or in fact every Nigerians, mixed both American and British English together.

E.g
Short ----- knicker

Fruitful- yielding something of a kind.
Productive- creating from scratch last last, English is not our first language. Everyone has his own idea

FFK is one of the best communicator I know and yes, he has mastery of the English Language. I see nothing wrong in all of those things you pointed out.
