Vehicles stop and people peek out of the window Bill didn't write it I did, Bill did correct my "English" though, with just the right amount of irony. |

Is “close proximity” a tautology? @callum my question was couched in terms of the OED definition which I quoted which says in part "position of being near or close by in space; nearness" |

Is “close proximity” a tautology? I liked the comment that you can't reject and idiom based solely on it being tautological. Can you reject the ungrammatical ones like the ubiquitous "exact same"? |

Is “close proximity” a tautology? The "distance" analogy strikes me as flawed. Given the OED definition of: "The extent of space lying between any two objects; the space to be passed over before reaching an object." There is no qualifier implied for nearness. A distance can be far, near, long or short. Since the definition of proximity has "close by in space" I don't see how you can have a long proximity. |

Is the phrase “for free” correct? Your friend is a misguided pedant, or more in the vernacular "full of hooey." |
