A teacher could use this word to
help a student who is writing a paper that needs correction, as when redlined
with the word, "tautology" indicates repetition of a word or a theme.
This word, "tautology" is
descriptive too, as anyone who is a beginner at something is a
"tautology" which can be unflattering if applied to someone who
believes they are experienced.
Yet on the whole
"tautology" is not disparaging, just puzzling to anyone who has never
used this word in their vocabulary of often used words, which is to indicate a particular
thought or opinion. "Tautology" could be a good word to use when the occasion arises,
or when the need is to impress a teacher with a good command of language, and that
could inspire a better grade in a course that might be a student's best
strength.
I like words that offer a better
means of communication and adds to a writer's means to communicate thoughts and themes, the ordinary simple words can be so repetitive,
and thus a pertinent example of "tautology."
