Re: "...one single..." grammar

I really didn't know where to post this. I hope you don't mind if I posit this here.

Is the phrase "one single" grammatically correct? e.g. "All I need is one single glass of water." It just seems redundant to me and it does annoy me enough to seek help.

Thank you.

I moved you post to here. It really can't be in the help section. It is fine grammatically.

  • As you say you don't need it a would do instead although it might be used to stress that your request is so small and therefore not too difficult for the listener.
