Tautology

[507bhp]

Some of my friends are tautologically challenged, if there is such a word! Occasionally they say things like "To reiterate again" or "the reason is because" or one of them has even said "my new job is more better than the last one".

Drives me wild, as does your in-place of you're or there in-place of they're. It's a bloody shame!

As we're doing grammar, I watched Alien Ice Bear (C5) and they came out with the ear-crumpling phrase 'to captively breed'.

Not only is that a split infinitive but 'captively' isn't even a word! WTF is wrong with 'to breed in captivity'.

Grrr.

On the road: 'Possible Queueing Traffic'.

So what is 'IMpossible Queueing Traffic'?

Also, if you can demolish something, does that mean you have to molish it in the first place?
