15/15. Now, if we could get rid of the redundant 'is' in spoken English, which I never heard or noticed till the mid nineties: The thing is is ... the point being is ... the reality was is ...

[Pat McCotter]

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

[Lloyd Danforth]

Apparently, English should be my second or, third language

It can be used incorrectly at times and redundant, but it does serve its purpose at times, like what time is it?

One of my favorite words is "so", it just seems to sum up things so quickly.  I also told my brother-in-law one time, "why argue with people, when fuck you says it all?"
