Tautology - Useless Repetition

TAUTOLOGY is useless repetition. To explain what they are, here's a few. “Free” gift, “follow” after, “past” history, are some, “join” together, “new” creation, another two! These samples and more are quite common. Even though they’re grammatically wrong! The first word says the same as the second, therefore, it doesn’t belong! Grammar is a difficult concept! There are so many rules you must learn! TAUTOLOGY is one of the problems, but there seems to be little concern! In plain day-to-day conversation, TAUTOLOGIC expressions abound! I don’t see a sign of it changing, a problem, I can’t “swallow” down. So let’s “unite” together and “rise” up and correct this “wrong” mistake!
