Redundancies, and Pet Peeves-

Listening to my local radio broadcast I hear the small town Mayor say, "We're meeting at 9 A.M. in the morning."
(I guess that's to clarify the meeting is NOT at 9 A.M. in the evening!)

Another irritation I used to hear over the radio during my EMS flying:
"He has a past history of..."
(As opposed to his future history I suppose.)

Yeah, my feathers are ruffled WAY too easily.

My pet peeve is “brutally murdered …” I was a coroner over 40 years and I never heard of anyone “gently murdered …”

David-
If I cover an Antifa member's face with a nice, soft pillow until he/she stops breathing, would you still consider that "brutal"? ;)

No. Gently justified comes to mind …
