Even if they were ensuring the audience understood it was a *man*, as opposed to a woman, a dog, a tree…

How many of you winced when the DJ's royalty-free recording coming through the speakers had 'for the sake of auld lang syne'?

#WordNerdiness: “convicted felon”, in most uses, is a pleonasm, and should never appear in print.

Additionally, “Trump”, when referring to the former president by name, is acceptable; when referring to that individual as a “winner”, it is a misnomer.

#pleonasm => a distinction b/w #ontological O/#epistemic E possibility,
"Both O / impossibility of X under current conditions are epistemically possible"
logic :
I am not aware of any facts inconsistent w X:T , NOT X:T.
double construction is less popular except #Spanish
