Word of the Day

• redundant- (re ‘dun dent)- (adjective)- exceeding what is necessary or normal

• Because my teacher had the words welcome to a new school year on her door, on the promethean board, and on the top of her syllabus, I thought opening up the class with the words, “Welcome to a new school year,” was redundant.
