RE: In love with a word

["Martinek, Carla" <CMartinek -at- zebra -dot- com>]

A recent contractor constantly used the word "tautology" in all of his
markups.

More than one person here asked me what it meant. :-)


tau*tol*o*gy  n. pl. tau*tol*o*gies
1. a. Needless repetition of the same sense in different words;
redundancy.
      b. An instance of such repetition.
2. Logic. An empty or vacuous statement composed of simpler statements
in a fashion that makes it logically true whether the simpler statements
are factually true or false; for example, the statement "Either it will
rain tomorrow or it will not rain tomorrow."
