Crisp and down to the point

English as a Second Language English Vocabulary, Grammar and Idioms

Reading in this forum I came across this expression: to a great extend the language is flawless and the communication is crisp and to the point.
Now then, one of the definitions of “crisp” is:

adjective: brief and to the point; effectively cut short (Example: “A crisp retort”)
So, wouldn’t “to the point” in the above expression be redundant?

Well, at any rate crisp and to the point is a common expression. Crisp means short whereas to the point means on target.[YSaerTTEW443543]
