Use redundant phrases sparingly (or omit) in business correspondence, articles, headlines, and other written documents. Here are a few that people use regularly:
* Absolutely essential (essential)
* Added bonus (bonus)
* Both of them (both)
* End result (result)
* Exact same (exact or same)
* Fewer in number (fewer)
* Final outcome (outcome)
* Free give-away or gift (give-away or gift)
* Past history (history will do, most of the time)
* Point in time (point or time: not both)
* There is no doubt that (How about “clearly”?)
That said, there will be times in other areas of life, and in writing, when you want one of those phrases. Go for it!
