Redundant acronym syndrome bothers me too. It irks me that the wikipedia page for it is “RAS Syndrome” which in itself is echoing the issue it’s describing. That shit has to be intentional.
It’s like how hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words. That’s some fucked up shit. Even it’s more official word “sesquipedalophobia” is still a bit long for anyone who experiences that fear.
Absolutely hate when someone asks me to “rsvp please”.

I’m pretty sure it is, but not strictly by Wikipedia. It credits some 2001 column for coming up with it.
