Common Grammatical Tautologies

Ok. I've noticed a few tautologies
commonly used here and I'm gonna post
them. Feel free to post those you've
noticed too.
First, a grammatical tautology is when you
repeat an idea within a particular sentence
or phrase, giving the impression you are
providing additional information.. For
example, she woke up at 4.am in the
morning. Am signifies morning, why
bother?
Here we go
1. Very beginning. The word very is
redundant in the phrase
2. Small minority Politics section, A place is
regarded as minority because it's small.
3. Personal belongings. All belongings are
personal, unless they've been stolen from a
public place
4. PIN number Please don't ask anybody
for their pin and still say number. The
initial 'n' in the acronym PIN stands for
number.
5. Honest truth A truth is either true or it
isn't. Unless it's a politician speaking.
6. Past experiences All experiences are
past. All those thread starters saying
'please share your past experience', take
note.
7. Old adage Please, there's a reason it's
called adage and it's because it's old
