Redundancies annoy me to no end. I especially hate "he/she thought to himself/herself" and "he/she nodded his/her head" It drives me nuts! I mean, who else is a normal human being going tho think to? His cat? Now, if it's science fiction with telepaths, it's understandable, but otherwise! And what else can you nod? Your elbow?

"Keep an open mind, I always say. Drives sensible people mad, I know, but what did we ever get from sensible people? Not poetry or art or music, that's for sure." --Charles de Lint, Someplace to Be Flying
