Don't care.



No we didn't. Redundant wording is there, but it's not the main reason why "seafood calamari" is so stupid.



Perhaps you were discussing redundant words, but redundant wording, while present, isn't why I originally raised an eyebrow (redundant words not being the sole or even primary reason why "seafood calamari" is so ridiculous) - I was referring to places that have obvious errors in their menus and signwriting. I was toying with the idea of using "pizza's" as my example instead, yet avoided it because I thought it would result in the exact same problem that "expresso" clearly has.



If you want to be technical "espresso coffee" is a valid example, but I personally don't find it as cringeworthy as "Expresso". More than likely a cafe has advertised espresso coffee to highlight to potential customers that they're not serving that filter rubbish.

The original example was "seafood calamari", which doesn't work. Yes, there's the redundant wording, but that's not why I raised it. It's absurd because it's advertised as if calamari is some recipe into which seafood is tossed. Hence my example of "poultry chicken".

Reaaaaaaaaaaally. So why were your two examples

Poultry Chicken &
Seafood prawns

and then e(x)spresso coffee.

This is cringeworthy. Even Sasguru is bright enough to see that you are trying to cover your tracks, badly.

Don't care.

The 200 words you bothered to write suggests otherwise, that you do care we buy your story.

So, sure, ok. I believe you.

To be fair though I could have come out of this thread looking like a real idiot. I'm grateful to have Green Label there to eclipse my efforts.

Is it lost on you that none of these examples are appalling primarily because of redundant wording, and that they don't work for other reasons? Do you even know what redundant wording is?
