§Grammar and usage

Tautology trap, asked very often: refer back is wrong when refer means look at or mention (say 'refer to', not 'refer back to'); spelling: referring and referred double the r.

Tautology trap बहुत पूछा जाता है: जब refer का अर्थ देखना या उल्लेख करना हो तो 'refer back' गलत है ('refer to' कहें, 'refer back to' नहीं); spelling में referring और referred में r दोहराया जाता है।
