Redundant Realisation
I seem to have developed this strange and uncanny habit of using two nearly synonymic or closely related words through conjunctions and/or disjunctions where only one of them is adequate and cogent. For example, consider... well! Never mind.
Here's a sentence I'd read from a student once: "When more than one multiple jobs arrive simultaneously at the same time, the chances of the probability of an error are high. So, therefore we need redundant duplication."

Heh. Mine are much less obvious. I remember evaluating students' assignments and papers when I was a TA. It was fun.

well here's the same effect without even the use of conjunctions/disjunctions....use of synonymic elements right within a word: more than once, i have caught myself off-guard speaking out of my own mouth the structure '.... irregardless of ...'. take notice... "IRregardless of .." ^_^

Ankur: Haha, that was good. I sometimes "combine" words. Once I said "day afternoon" to mean "day after tommorrow afternoon". Happens. ;)
Btw, thanks for stopping by.
