Question

why do people call it "tuna fish" when tuna is fish?....isnt that like saying fish fish?....or "hamburger meat"....same thing....hamburger is meat......or how about when people put on here the phrase "personally, i think....".....if I think it, then it IS personal so why say personally before i?....and the last one on this post would be the grand prize going to the people who made "prilosec otc"... otc stands for "over the counter"....if you are buying it without a prescription then doesnt it stand to reason that its over the counter?.....anybody got any others?.......and please no one get offended - we all do these things - i just think its humorous, a little sad, but humorous!

Answer 1

I think about stuff like that ALL the time. The Hot Water Heater is a major one. I saw a commercial earlier where the guy was talking about a vacation in Italy where "each day was better than the next." Think about that. That means that each day gets worse. I don't thing that's what he was trying to say.
