Every so often, we all occasionally say too many numerous additional extra words sometimes. Check out Rumination 64: Tautological Torture on Lounge Ruminator.
@martinfeld ah yes. The joys of tautologies. "personal friend" is a classic. But occasionally I see the point as being one of emphasis rather than of description. There are some languages where this is more common than others. I see to remember one where instead of words like "very" they just repeat the word.
