Asked on December 22, 2021 in Meaning.
On a page like mine where the word “thedraped” refers to ‘lavished” rather than “armored” is I sure it goes wrong? As in, lavishly used something, used it up, such as an overabundance of lotion is lavished on one’s body. Generally speaking, she has used the amendment for
a lot. Missing the point that she’s used this amendment too much?

Like traditional American ‘Have you got time’ greeting, ‘have you got time’ is informal in USA. Do you have time? Is formal in the USA. USA uses ‘got’ in this way: as an emphases or as a repetition.
How to answer a question about physics? I am a cat girl! How do I get a cat? ‘got’ is a repetition of get, thus creating an emphatic statement. Got is not really used in the USA, or
they use it well.

What is heartfelt is never redundant. What is said out of habit and often repeated can be redundant. Importance of “see you later” the “talk to you later” if used to inform and supply some yet unknown intention, is not duplicate. “talk to you later” in order to inform one’s purposeful intention to call someone back that evening, is unnecessary information and therefore not redundant.
Or just an email address may be used to remind someone or to answer a question about a particular situation.
