Redundancy

This is one of my biggest pet peeves: people misusing words. For Example:

Devoid

Void:without contents; empty. Its a gap or lack of something. Its empty and vacant

De: this is a prefix that means used to indicate privation, removal, and separation (dehumidify), negation (demerit; derange),

Irregardless

regardless: having or showing no regard; heedless; unmindful (often fol. by of). inattentive, negligent, neglectful, indifferent, unconcerned

Ir is a prefix that means having a negative or privative force. For example, irreplaceable=no able to be replaced. Irreversible=can't be reversed. Irregular-not normal or typical

Refurbish

furbish: to restore to freshness of appearance or good condition

re: used with the meaning “again” or “again and again” to indicate repetition, or with the meaning “back” or “backward” to indicate withdrawal or backward motion. such as retrace or recast.

Please please don't be redundant in our use of these and similar words. That is all.
