What are those words, if they have a category, that are misued per:
Chai tea (Actually Chai translate to tea) so this is like saying "Tea Tea" PC computer (PC means personal computer-used out of context to mean IBM based machines) "Personal Computer Computer" Bo Staff (In martial arts a staff is a quarter stick-bo is the Asian term and translates the same) "Stick Staff" Aregent Silver "Silver Silver" VIN Number - Vehicle Identification Number Number NIC Card - Network Interface Card Card ATM machine PIN number DC comics = Detective Comics comics DOS system __________________ ER Room. Emergency Room room? OR Room. Operating Room room? Hot water heater. Why do you need to heat hot water? AC current. Alternating Current current? And last but not least (and a few insiders will get this)... A knight chevalier. |

Redundancies drive me crazy.
Not always a redundancy. Often, when it is said, it is actually being said as "knight cavalier." Cavaliers were not necessarily knights and knights were not necessarily cavaliers, so there was a distinction being made.

1. NEVER lean the Bo on the wall as this could make the Bo warp and useless.
2.NEVER furnish your Bo with wood furnish etc. Let the Bo shine by the sweat and oil of your hands' moisture through years of working with the Bo. Hope my little experience could help you a bit.
