Stray peeve

[davidlevine]

This peeve just wandered in and I'm wondering if I want to adopt it as a pet: people who write redundant things like "$25 dollars." I've seen it in several professionally-produced ads from reputable companies and it just makes me shake my head in sorrow.

Like using your PIN number at the ATM machine?
(Just to mention two of my favorites.)

Oh, come on. Keep going. You need to use your personal pin number in the ATM machine to get $100 dollars.
