Brexit related but is "the wording of the text" not a tautology?

I wouldn't have thought so.
"Wording" and "text" are referring to two different things.

Nope
Yep.
Its subtle but the phrase implies that there is a subjective satisfaction with the perfection
Eg
"Those spuds are boiled perfectly, delicious, perfection at its best"
vs
"Them spuds are boiled perfectly the problem is, I prefer them roasted"

Sharia law
Irish Taoiseach.
Are there any examples of tautologies in this thread?
Referring to Sharia as Sharia law tells a naive informant what sort of thing Sharia is (cf. Brehon law).
Irish Taoiseach is a pleonasm, not a tautology, as Taoiseach is not the same the same thing as Irish.
Sharia law actually is a tautology. (https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/this-is-what-sharia-law-actually-is/news-story/bc87221d32afe4fa4013a07b38fda32e)
Is there a British Taoiseach? I thought the head of governments in other countries were referred to as Príomh Aire.

A tautology is saying the same thing twice over. Is 'Irish' and 'taoiseach' the same thing? Clearly not.
A pleonasm is a redundancy in speech. As Taoisigh (in the sense the term is used in English) only ever refer to Irish leaders the Irish prefix is redundant. Hence pleonasm.
Okay, fair enough.
