Are 'extreme end' and 'plenty big enough ' correct expressions?

#WrongEnglishWeSpeak
#ComeToClassWithKingIfey

Those of you who try to fault expressions like 'Extreme end' and 'Extreme Limit', saying that they are tautology and  that  they( extreme and end) both mean the same thing and can't be strung together to form an expression.

Biko English language doesn't work well with logic. It works with what is frequently spoken.

You can as well say

'A little bit' is wrong because you can say a bit or a little.

You can also infer that 'Plenty big enough' is wrong...but it is not.

These are accepted English expressions..

Someone still had to argue with me that the English expression 'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't "  is so wrong and does not make sense.  He opines that angel should be there.  He forgets that English can be quite illogical to our Nigerian minds. Lol. People say things like. 'He has not even proposed talk more of walking down the aisle with me' 'He does not have a car,  talk less a house" Well these two expressions or collocations are not common in British and American English. Here are the universal conventional English collocations for Nigerian English's  'Talk more of' and 'Talk less of',  #LetAlone 'Let alone' is  used to indicate that something is far less likely or suitable than something else already mentioned.
