Oh no! I love Borders. Much better than B&N in my opinion. If you’ll excuse me, I need to go buy $42.5 million in books.

Nancy,
Sounds logical, but as you know a “feed pass” in hockey is a specific type of pass where usually a forward in the offensive zone who is stationary either on the low post or the wing passes it to a streaking forward or D coming from the high slot. Result: usually a biscuit in the basket.

While I have the Department of Redundancy Department’s attention, I would like on ruling on this: sports—mostly hockey–writers sometimes refer to a pass as a “feed pass.” I think a pass is a feed and therefore redundant. My god, I’m turning into Tim.

It means to patronize often. So it’s a location that Eric “often patronizes often.” Redundant. (Still, only a blogpost.)

If they had left the store at Coit and Arapaho open, they would be fine now, seeing as 1/3rd my paycheck seemed to go there.

Not redundant.

In this sentence, frequent means “patronize.”

“often patronize” would be correct, therefore “often frequent” is also correct.

It’s still redundant — in the sense that “rush quickly” would be.

not in this context. “frequent” here is used as a verb and “often” is used as an adverb.

Isn’t “often frequent” redundant?
