Grammar
Send someone to a place & send someone over to a place
Is there a difference between "to send someone to a place" and "to send someone over to a place"? Don't you think that "over" is redundant/unnecessary but people commonly use it in speech?
Thank you

"over" often doesn't add a huge amount of meaning, but it can help to lubricate the sentence and has a bunch of possible vagueish connotations; e.g. it can add a sense of familiarity, possibly of relative nearness (not always), of travelling across something (e.g. a street or town), or of implied purpose.
