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.

That's a real good point.

Shoo! Away, stray peeve! Go make big fat puppy eyes at someone else.

Oh yes, and have you seen people write ".02 cents" when they do not mean 2/10ths of a cent? I've seen that construction on price labels and it is tempting to call them on it.

Gods, I meant 2/100ths of a cent. Tyop.
