But redundancy is what I look for. I have a tendency to use 'actually' and 'literally' too much. I also tend to be a little over formal (my SA influence, I think).Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015025502147924207.post-91607551496100589922013-08-29T18:42:55.689-07:002013-08-29T18:42:55.689-07:00Hi Cherie, so true!
