Redundancies
A redundant expression is one that is repetitive in terms of meaning (e.g. young puppy, unexpected luck, remake again). Depending on the nature of the text, this may constitute a genuine error, or, on the contrary, it may be the result of a deliberate stylistic choice. For this reason, redundancies are flagged in the Language view for possible correction and in the Style (Vocabulary) view for simple verification. This setting affects both views.
Choose from three levels of detection sensitivity:
- Minimum: The corrector does not flag any redundancies.
- Intermediate: The corrector flags those redundancies that are universally criticized (e.g. added bonus), but not those that are less serious (e.g. blend together).
- Maximum: The corrector flags all redundancies, regardless of how serious they are.
- The sensitivity for detecting redundancies is set to intermediate by default. To disable all such alerts, uncheck the Redundancies box.
