Why Redundancies?
"Anchoring OUT"? Where else? "In"?
"Go DOWN BELOW"! How far? "UP ABOVE"! How high? "It went IN the water." Are you sure? "It went OVER the side!" Not through or under or around? And so on... |

Which would you rather spend time with? Or, with which would you rather spend time? (See?) Now, if you want a real linguistic nautical challenge, read the Patrick O'Brian novels. Note that a Spanish windlass is not a female hang glider from Madrid. It goes downhill (or over the side, or between the devil and the deep blue sea, or abaft the mizzen) from there. And if it doesn't, there'll be the devil to pay. (Finally found out what the nautical origin of that saying came from) (Boy, there's tortured grammer, but I'll let it stand..let that be a lesson to me) Norm. |
