• Is the term 'prominently known' redundant?
    12 replies, posted
I was going to use it for an important english paper, but I don't want to sound dumb in the first sentence.
Why would it be redundant?
looking up [I]prominently[/I], I found out it means [I]well known, [/I]and if I said well-knownly known, yeah.
no, i've heard it used a bunch of times
Prominently is sort of a synonym for well known, I guess. I think it still works.
if you're that worried about it just say widely known
it sounds fancier then saying "well known" and people will think you're smarter. woo for stupid people!
As long as you don't say prominently well known. THAT's redundant.
well I didn't thanks asshole!!!!

Wait wtf I'm just trying to help. Did it sound like I was condescending at any point in this thread?

Prominently known and prominent mean the same thing.
