Badly Written, Badly Spoken / Redundant use of all and apiece

« on: March 29, 2016, 07:04:56 AM »

Hi Sir, i always watch sports action on tv. Very often, i hear sports commentator say, the score is now tied at 8 all; it is a see-saw battle, both teams are again on deadlock at 89 apiece. 'All' and 'apiece' are redundant, right, Mr. Carillo?

Use and Misuse / Score tied at 8 all

Sir, i always watch sports action on tv and very often, i hear sports commentator say.... The score is tied at 8 all; the score is again a deadlock at 89 apiece... Should it be, the score is tied at 8, or the score is again a deadlock at 89? 'All' and 'apiece' are obviously redundant.
