>>4772452
Some repetitions are defensible grammatically, aside from the awkwardness they sometimes cause. For example, 'what we do do...' isn't necessarily ruled out, but I would say that that one is too strongly associated with something like Young Frankenstein. Likewise 'is' can even be repeated defensibly. The example in >>4772446, though, isn't right at all grammatically; what it is is a big sign that the speaker isn't thinking about words too much.

I don't know what your native language is, but something has been lost in its translation to english.

"by far and away" means something close to

>>4772389
'suddenly' rushes you through and puts far too much emphasis on the action. 'all of a sudden' (or 'all of the sudden,' which i prefer) focuses much more on the actual timing and puts emphasis on the immediacy of an action rather than the action itself.

usually, people say "by far and away." editors will "fix" this. editors hate reality.

i would raise an eyebrow and have a bit of trouble parsing the sentence.
