Redundancies and such

I’ve never been a big fan of redundancies and parallelisms. If I see one, I usually point out “double negative” or something of the like, in a vain attempt at looking intelligent and witty. There were some quite funny examples in class. I’m quite sure there were. I cannot recall any of them for the life of me. I do, however, seem to unconsciously use some redundancies myself when speaking. “Exactly the same”, “each and every”, “the reason why” and “first introduced”. They appear to have become a part of our everyday language, and I seriously doubt they will disappear any time soon.
