# I used to have a catalogue of machinery
and in it was advertised the "New England NERCC Rotary Chuck Capper". Very annoying.

# Grarrrgh!
I heard a so-called IT specialist on the radio the other day talking about ISP providers. My teeth are now ground to bloody stumps.

(Working for the NHS again, it's worrying how bad highly educated doctors are for this. Also seen in a patient's notes the other day: 'Eyes itchy and saw')

# I apologise
I enjoy your post, but placing the word 'virus' after the acronym 'HIV' makes me madder than a mad thing. It's silly and petty I know, but it sets my teeth on edge and makes me want to hurt people.

You're not the only one to do it though, so fret not.

# ^this
and most of the examples above aren't tautologies. Not all viruses are HIV, not all providers provide internet service.

# Tautology: 1. (Linguistics / Grammar) the use of words that merely repeat elements of the meaning already conveyed
Ergo, in the case of ISP provider, stating the word provider is unnecessary as it has already been covered in the acronym ISP

# 1. Logic
a. a compound propositional form all of whose instances are true, as “A or not A.”
b. an instance of such a form, as “This candidate will win or will not win.”

We can't go allowing people to change the language as they see fit, what next, the word Internet in the dictionary?!

# haha
Christ on a bike!!!!

you're right, that is a tad silly and petty :D

it's a poster saying condoms not only allow the HIV (virus) to pass through it, but also upgrades it to "Super"

it's not real and kinda taking the piss?
no?


I shall now wear my dunces cap all day though. I hope that makes you happier :P
