My favorite is when someone says “I’m going to google search that.” Google is a search engine, so you don’t need to say “search”.

Another one is “Six in one, half dozen the other.” Who came up with that stupid shit? English dies each time.

Google is a company; Google Search is their search engine, so technically this is correct.

Sometimes while typing in English I have to rely on the following: "That that"
It's pretty strange because "That" has different translations in Spanish.
Let me try a literal translation:

"Ella dijo que eso es muy malo"
"She said that that is really bad"

" ... que ésa no es la respuesta"
" ... that that is not the answer"

:unsure:

So would you say that this that means one thing, and that that that means another?

You might be on to something here. “The Edge of The Forum” should actually be “The Edge”. It is already a forum and doesn’t need the title. Look at all the other forum titles. None of the have “forum” in the title, because they are already known as forums.

It used to just be called "The Edge" but then we got a C&D notice for copyright infringement and had to rename it.
