Is the expression "Extremely minimal" correct? I'm reviewing a document I have to submit and find the combination annoying....Emotion: surprise

I've seen it used frequently, however, it sounds really strange as minimal is already a superlative, its the litlest. Then how can it be extremely litlest? Please help, I have to submit this document....

You're right. People do use that expression even though it's redundant. I would reword it if I were you.
