    "we often" is not sufficient context, sorry. Who are "we"? Nobody can answer your question without knowing what the repetition is sposta mean, and who does it when. – John Lawler Aug 18 '14 at 14:58
  • I'd like to add that I've never heard the word different used multiple times consecutively. –  Aug 18 '14 at 15:08
  • is this really a dupe? i took this question to mean "can you repeat a word to make it stronger?" – user428517 Aug 18 '14 at 18:59

Word repetition is not valid usage in English. It is considered an error. I am aware that some other languages replicate words to provide emphasis. In English, the use of a modifier is required.

Somethings is very small indeed.
