Saturday, November 27, 2004. What the Heck is a Pleonastic Redundancy? Today, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to talk about redundancy. Not quite like the one in the title of this article (a pleonasm is another word for redundancy, so the title is a pleonasm, get it? The redundancies I'll be griping about today are those frequently misused with acronyms, initials and abbreviations. Even the people who make ATMs are guilty; witness ATMMachine.com. And The Taipei (Taiwan) Times. To The Daily Nebraskan.
