Asked by Tim

Rewrite the following sentence to make it more concise:

The end result of completely eliminating the floodwall was utter devastation.

I need help with this one.

The phrase "end result" is redundant. That is, you don't need both words. Omit "end" and it'll mean the same thing.

Same with "completely eliminating" and "utter devastation." Which words can you eliminate and keep the meaning the same?

Let me know.

It's a terrific list of most or maybe all the redundancies we read and hear every day -- on TV, in the news, etc.
