one lonely success

OK, this being my e-soapbox and all, I thought I’d vent for a while….

You see, I deplore redundant phrases, especially when they become overly repetitive

For example, before heading out for a night on the town, a friend of mine has to stop at the “ATM Machine”. So that would be Automated Teller Machine Machine…right.

A while back, an eBay buyer, when inquiring as to the status of his package, asked what the “estimated ETA” was for delivery. You see where I’m going with this. Finally, once and for all when you order your drink at Starbucks, you want an Espresso, not an EXpresso. An EXpresso only exists in your world of ATM Machines and estimated ETAs.

So, what’s your favorite redundancy? Now go play nice…
