The Day of Margaret Wrath continues!!!! I yelled at God, and now I am going to yell at people who use words wrong. My anger knows NO BOUNDS!!!
ATM Machine
“Automated Teller Machine Machine” NO!!!!
Dr. John Smith, PhD
“Doctor John Smith Doctor” NO!!!!
Naan Bread
“Bread Bread” STUPID!!!
Indian Musical Film
“Films That Always Have Music Musical Film” DUH!!!!
OMS System
“Office Management System System” This is my job and I spend all day responding to people who have questions about our “OMS System”. UGH!
Misogynistic Akshay Kumar Movie
I mean, this is obvious
Good Dog
“Innately Good Entity is Good” Silly!
Okay, which of these infuriates you personally THE MOST? The only wrong answer is “gee, I just don’t care, isn’t it just words?”
Oh, while we are talking about “Indian Musical Films”:
The worst is “Dr. John Smith, PhD” because it’s not only the extra word but the mentality of many doctors.
Naan bread doesn’t bother me , maybe because it’s delicious and everytime I hear it I start thinking how good it is and don’t have time to think about how it’s said.
Another example : Chai tea

I find these redundancies the worst because their are just so many of them out there.
I expected you to include ‘Charming Shahrukh’😁

“Charming Shahrukh” maybe not, but “Sexy Shahrukh Khan Movie/Picture/Interview/Song” is just silly. Why repeat yourself?
Also, why does no one ever say “AT Machine”? Or “OM System”?

From a comment above, I can offer the counter “Sexy Shahrukh Film”.
But of course, you are the person Who Doesn’t Like Shahrukh, so you may not agree.

I always stumble over “Pin number”. Even p(ersonal) i(dentification) n(umber) code is kind of weird. But then recently someone asked me whether I had a pin for changing the card in a phone. She actually meant the physical pin you push in…

OH! PIN Number!!! Yes! That is so terrible. Why can’t we just say “PIN Code”?
