yes, HEV, let me second that.. since i couldn't remember when or where i read my last thread about pleonastic terms, and since i couldn't think of new ones... i was just letting you know, better mind than mine might not respond.. but being awad,.. we are off and running..

Pet peeves gets going over every couple of months too.. we all get a little bitchy, and sometimes want to
[rant]--and then fill in text with a rant[/rant]

rants are usually directed at the world at large.. they sometimes extend to cosmic proportions.. its not just a peeve, it is the whole of the universe conspiring against us!

and who was it, that last week (it was you, my dear Mr. bingley, wasn't it?) pulled out a [soapbox] that was a new one.. sometime soon i expect to see a [hyde park] post! but only on sunday afternoons, mind you!
you'll find.. rehashed topics come round and round, just like the tax man-- they keep turn up! and for some of us, its alway too soon, and for others well its just one more go round--and what's the problem with that?
