Pleonasms are more better

So, I gotta start somewhere.  I'm planning to use this blog as a place to dump things that I find interesting or useful.  Perhaps no-one else will read it, but at least it's somewhere to put things before they evaporate from my increasingly poor memory...


I used to work with a guy who used to say things like "it's more better".  Turns out this is a pleonasm - "the use of more words than are necessary to express an idea".
