Ok so i see some of u are confusing pleonasm and tautology, or seeing them as synonyms so a short psa Pleonasm; an unnecessary addition bc the other word already carries its meaning in itself ex wet water, white snow etc Taurology; an abundance of words that essentially mean the same thing ex an amazing thing that is very good and fantastic etc Thank u and have a nice day

Samantha :  Yeehh, look at me, I swim in the water. Me : Hmm, I thought you was swimming in sand or snow.
