I recently set up, in my local pub, the Society for the Eradication of Words that are Erroneous and Redundant (SEWER). So far I have 2 members including myself. We are devising a guidebook that will include some of the major redundant words and phrases.

We have identified:

added bonus (no need for added)
and plus (no need for one or the other)
actual fact (just say actually)
very very big (just one very or none)

I was hoping there might be others out there.
