    Default Re: I'm sorry.

    Isn't tautological when you have an expression like, 'I wouldn't pay a red cent for that car' because saying 'I would pay a red cent for that car' makes no sense?

    I thought it had to do with logic only working in one direction, not really redundancies. Any linguists around to weigh in?

    Edit: Eh, I answered my own question already. Shoulda just googled it in the first place.

    *wallows on*
