PLEONASM

Hi friends!
A few days back, I published a mini article on 'Redundancy'. Many of you said the article was very informative. Thank you for the feedback and interest. This is the second part of that article.
Pleonasm means 'redundancy of expression in speaking or writing'.

Many people, unknowingly, use expressions such as ATM machine, PIN code, Past history etc. in their speech or writing. In fact ATM stands for 'Automated Teller Machine', so the abbreviation doesn't need an additional 'machine'. Likewise, PIN represents Postal Index Number ('number' equals 'code'). And no doubt history is the 'written account of past events'.

Here's a useful list:
