    Whew, that's a relief.

    Not sure if this counts; when people say double u, double u, double u (9 syllables) for world wide web (3 syllables). Anyway isn't the www (say the words!) already redundant?

    If that's the case, why do I need to write down the city and state down when I mail stuff? That information is already in the zip code.

    Because zip codes were added, for sorting purposes, well after the States (and cities) were created. [​IMG]

    A little off topic, but makes me wonder why people are shot dead or buned alive???

    Because, "It's merely a flesh wound," really doesn't sound as good without the Monty Python accent? :)

    redundant adjectives and poor grammar:

    yada, yada, yada, you know? and yada, yada , you know?
    {I do now...}

    yada, yada, like you know, right? and so we like, did this, and like, did that, and he like, turned all red in the face, and we were like, "yada yada."
    {valley girls...} facepalm {only in America...}

    Edit: spelling

    If you've had a near miss, did you actually hit?
    Is a "whole'nother" implying that "a-nother" is just a fraction of said "other"?
    Is "irregardless" just short for saying "with regards to?"
    Are the latest news in the future?

    I've always considered it redundant to stretch my legs. (They're long enough.)

    This is what happens when there are too many signs of redundancy

    Gee, maybe if they removed the sign or the rocks, people wouldn't throw rocks at it...lol
    (but I strongly suspect that there is another sign that is not in the picture that the first sign is making reference to.)
