Hello there Pink Friend -- I celebrate the fact that I learned a new word today: pleonasm and I'd like to share it with you. I love new words.
There are actually many pleonasms in our world. African-American dialect is filled with them. I myself am guilty of using superfluous words to express a concept. I do it all the time. Life seems to have a bit of redundancy built in, doesn't it?
Anyway, fascinating idea. Funny how a word can make you think about things, ideas, language, etc. differently.
