Is it correct to write "Revert Back"?

Answer 1

No, "back" is redundant.

In reply to the other comments, any idiot can say whatever he/she wants in the English language but that doesn't make it "correct" to write it in a way that doesn't make sense.

Answer 2

Is Revert Back Correct English

Answer 3

This is another example of where spoken English differs from written English. "Revert back" is common in conversation and probably wouldn't even draw a second glance. However, "back" is technically redundant since "revert" already contains the notion of "back" so if you're writing an essay, especially an English essay, just use "revert".

Answer 4

As per the Dictionary, revert means :-
to come or go back

Therefore, writing "revert back" amounts to repeating the word "back" - so its superfluous and we can simply write "revert"

e.g. "I shall revert to you in a week's time "

Answer 5

It is more incorrect in written language than in spoken language, and it is unnecessary. It is called a redundancy, or a tautology, but redundancies are very common in spoken English, and part of the regular language of everyday life. It is not a major error to use it, but it might indicate that you are not paying close attention to the meaning of what you are writing. I would avoid using it, particularly in writing.

Revert will do. It implies that it comes back.
