"Frequented" - What the?

[alex24]

You should buy a dictionary if you don't already have one. Very useful if you struggle with understanding what some words mean. Or, you can type the word into google with define or definition (may even be a proper way to do this) and it can bring up articles on what it means from online dictionaries and encyclopaedias.

Nothing wrong with "frequented", although the BBC's usage of "regularly frequented" is slightly bizarre.

My new word that I try and use in conversations is 'hitherto', I love that word.

I try to fit 'extrapolate' and 'so forth' into my conversations - makes me feel gooood

There sure are a myriad of stupid threads.

It's a pretty normal word, however in the context of that example it is indeed a tautology.

It's not a tautology, a tautology is a tautology...

Remember kids, the first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club!

I don't even think the usage in the example is particularly incorrect, although a bit clumsy, it is referring to multiple areas so the regularity is in reference to the norm among the areas, whereas frequented is referring to each specific area. It makes sense logically, but is confusing grammatically
