"accidentally come across"? Sun May 25, 2008 17:25 pm  "accidentally come across"?		  
Hi,
Can we say "accidentally come across"? I wonder about this because the phrase "come across" itself has the meaning of "find unexpectedly"...

Many thanks in advance
Nessie

I agree with you. It's a reduplication.
