    I believe Plum is referring to the redundancy of the Post Meridian if one states any variant of night in a reference regarding time whilst using twelve hour clock nomenclature.


    Nowt wrong with pedantry by the way.


    Anyone who asks me for my PIN number is subjected to a 5 minute diatribe regarding unnecessary repartition which reaches a finale with me castigating them on their ignorance of basic acronyms.



    Surprisingly I'm often told to **** off.


    Dunno why.

    Important people are corrected on that Ernie

    You are right to lecture on the subject

    Even worse in the States where people have to remember their PIN number at the ATM machine

    PIN number, how indicative of redundant acronym syndrome.

    Women used to have pin money, but pin didn't have capital letters.

    It’s like a 6’4” bloke with a top hat on sitting in the front row at the pictures isn’t it? Though I suspect that Elon Musk knows that and really doesn’t care
