If the road to hell is paved with adverbs, then once you get there you will find yourself surrounded by Tautology
Tautology - the saying of the same thing twice in different words, generally considered to be a fault of style (e.g., they arrived one after the other in succession ).
Examples:
- I went to see him personally.
- He is always making predictions about the future.
- She was a dark-haired brunette.
But then there are the funny examples, some intentional and some not. - "It's deja vu all over again." - Yogi Berra
- “Our nation must come together to unite.” - George W. Bush
