This tautology!

Friday, May 6, 2016

 A correspondent on a local TV station just said this: "Speaker Yakubu Dogara has reinstated the commitment of the government to resettle the IDPs back to their communities." I ask: "resettle back?" CAUTION: Sorry, that is a tautology. You simple "resettle", you don't "resettle back"; same way you don't "reverse back".
 Is that clear now?
