Oh, I think I've figured out your 'laconic' reference, Wigglesworth. I think you mean that avoiding the redundancy I pointed out would of necessity, in your opinion, be motivated by an aspiration to be laconic. I disagree with you on this.

I see that in my post, I used single quotes and double quotes quite strangely. Well, it's 2 am.

<< What?
Is 'Besides Each and Both' redundant? In what way is it redundant? I truly don't see it.>>

You claimed 'also' redundant: get rid of it and the meaning's still perfectly clear. I claimed if you had been a really good redundancy seeker, you would have whacked 4 words 'Besides Each and Both' instead of 1 'also'.

Please reread the whole post, get rid of these 4 words and see if you are confused.

The moral of the story is Some people can see a few words back, others can see whole sentences...
Actually, redundancy ain't no crime.

I am not offended by anyone or anything on this thread. Something about heat and kitchen, I think.
