Remember several posts ago when I mentioned that there were thousands of redundancies that people insist on using? Here's an oldie, but it certainly won't be the last one about which I rail.
The word "proximity" means "close to." Why, then, do you need to add "close" to "proximity" for Pete's sake? It doesn't make any sense. (Who is Pete, by the way?)
If you absolutely must use the word "proximity" to impress your family and friends, please use it the correct way. "In proximity to" would be the appropriate usage here.
See, don't you find it more comforting to be in proximity to the more literate of society? I know it takes time, but you're learning.
Good job. Moving on. . .
