Tautology and using different words to say something twice.PIN number. EMP pulse. VIN number.
No, just no.
And the less obvious ones. Free gift - where a gift means an item given without charge. Added bonus and over-exaggerate. Just stop and think about it.
I hate it when people use too many words to explain the same thing twice. And Tautology.

Yes, you're right......PIN number is a common and annoying one. That said, I used to speak to customers who had to enter a 10 digit PIN on an encryption device to activate it. I used to have to use the phrase when they failed to understand the 'word' PIN alone. Unfortunately people have even less of a clue when you say 'personal identification number'!
