    Author’s note: A shorter version of this list first appeared October 16, 2013, in my "Word Wise" column on the TechWhirl website in a post entitled The Annals of Redundancy Annals (techwhirl.com/word-wise-annals-redundancy-annals/). A few weeks later, I reposted it to my own website, How to Write Everything, now Writing.Rocks. (See writing.rocks/annals-of-redundancy-annals/.) The list grew there for a year and finally insisted that I turn it into a book.
