Countless emails, often from the big bosses of the corporate world, contains the nauseating mistake "revert back".
"....Revert back to me if you have any questions." This is what I saw a few days back in an email from someone whose name shoots everybody's BP up.
The verb, Revert, here is used in the sense, to go back in thought or discussion. Therefore, revert back is a redundant expression, as the word implies the sense of going 'back".
So, do not revert back, just revert.
