Oh yes.   Sorry!

Many years ago I was teaching a fairly bright fifth form. One of them had written something tautologous so I noted "tautology" in the margin. The following week he made exactly the same statement in a subsequent piece of work (this was in the days when I used to mark work every week!) and had added, "This is known as tautology."!

I suggested he buy a dictionary.
