Observations

One of my pet peeves is redundancy. For example, when people say things like “he used to be a former CIA agent” or “I forgot my PIN number” or “Where’s the nearest ATM Machine?”

The initialism redundancy has gotten out of hand. Now we have some businesses repeating the last two words of the initialism. Have you ever heard of DSW Shoe Warehouse or GCO Carpet Outlet?
