Typical case of "redundant acronym syndrome syndrome"

- dllthomas 14y agoSlightly more severe than typical - two words are duplicated.
- kybernetikos 14y agoWorst I ever saw was an advertisement proclaiming that the car in question had "Advanced ABS Braking System". I consider that an example of "Maximally Redundant MRAS Acronym Syndrome".
- dllthomas 14y agoIsn't the A in ABS "Anti-lock"? In which case, it's comparable. I like your syndrome name, though!
- vbuterin 14y agoMy favorite is things like 'Role of UBIquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers in Cellular regulatiON' ("RUBICON") - New Scientist called it "MAD" = "malformed acronym syndrome". http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19025562.700-feedback.html http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19025562.700-feedback....
