[stylist] sample of work rewritten. 3rd attempt.

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi Jim,

I agree it is common and, in my opinion, redundant.  Many people also say
"refer back" or "remand back" which are clearly bad usage by virtue of their
redundancy.  I feel "exact same" falls into the same category.

Warm Regards,

Fred

fred,
please elaborate on your peeve, p e e v e, didn't 
quite understand what you were referring to.  do 
you object to the use of the phrase "exact 
same?"  if so, it is certainly a common 
expression; perhaps the repetition is used simply 
for emphasis in our language.
