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.

Oh, yeah. Inadvertant redundancies. They crop up quite often when people abuse acronyms. HSA account. PIN number. Drives me batty.

Nothing makes me battier than misplaced apostrophes, though. I see them more often, and they annoy me more.
