You and I know that good English is so rare as to be abnormal, especially here.

I do agree with you Roger, but the poster seemed to be castigating people for using decent English - I merely wanted to know what was wrong with the practice

I don't think we would use such an ugly word at all - or, at least, I hope we wouldn't

Improper (?) use of adjectives, like "cheap price" (an item for sale can be cheap, not its price) or "cold temperature".

How about tuna fish?

That's a tautology.

I know someone mentioned this earlier in the thread, but it's the same as saying PIN number. PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. So people are really saying Personal Identification Number Number.

This, along with 'tuna fish' is a tautology.

Hmmmm, "tautology." Is that a tightly stretched ology?
