Is the phrase “That is typically exactly what happens “ grammatically correct?
Wondering if it makes sense to say “That is typically exactly what happens “. My wife tells me I can’t use the words typically and exactly together.
You ask whether typically exactly works. The question isn’t about grammar, but yes, they can go together.
In your example, typical refers to how often the occurrence happens ‘like that’, while exactly relates to what it means to be ‘like that’. One relates to frequency and the other to content. There’s no contradiction or funny business going on there.
