I wanted to write something in a message to my department that essentially says "I am thankful for this home we share"...however I initially thought that I would emphasize the cohesion of the group by adding "I am thankful for this home we share together."

I am concerned this is redundant as togetherness is implied by sharing (one cannot share without another!). Any thoughts here?

    Nice, I think this well captures the concern I had with a bit of humor.

  • together could also be exclusionary in certain cases.

  • The exclusiveness lurks in the background (unspoken). 'We share together' (but not with them).

  • Yes, there is redundancy in your example. If you check other examples here, you will see that this is given too bad a press by some.
