One thing that no one in the thread has closely examined [wait, is that a redundancy? aren't all examinations close?] is what precisely is the problem with redundancy? Are we just trying to work within the 140-character limit of Twitter? How exactly does a redundancy affect our ability to communicate? Rather than starting with the premise that redundancy is a bad thing, shouldn't we ask why? And if we do, I believe that we will find that the reasons don't apply to each and every [wait, is that redundant? why not just say "each" or just say "every"?] instance of redundancy.
