And as you haven't put a "?" at the end of this sentence, how am I to know that you're not telling me to use ambiguous language. ("why" is also an interjection, like "marry" in shakespeare)

Now I see what you're on about. "Never" implies, in this case, "during any part of my life" anyway, so "in my life" was redundant, though "never in my life" is a common expression. However, I wouldn't say it was ambiguous, rather reinforcing
