Subject: BS: Language pet peeves Mk II
As Mk 1 seems to have disappeared into the error of its ways I thought I'd resurrect it, in the hope that this'll be a temporary measure only. Anyway:
A couple of recently-spotted doublings-up:
"I married my husband last Thursday!" (You've married him twice...?)
Headline on our local news website: "Missing woman disappears in the night" ....Huh?
