I love the English language but I am prejudice and bias against synonyms. Lets take the word...absolute. If the word needs no help before it or after it then why do people say...the truth is absolute or the absolute truth? Wouldnt this be a oxymoron in sentence construction? True synonyms do explain related words but does absolute, if the word has no beginning or end to define it even in a sentence why do people use it as, the absolute truth or vice versa?

Why cant the truth mean truth. Why do people assume and state that the word...needs help before or after a word which needs no defining? What may be truth to you might not be truth too me. But does that still define the word as a ...absolute...word, nothing before it and nothing after it? Paul
