pleonasm
\PLEE-uh-naz-uhm\, noun:
The use of more words than are necessary to express a thought
“I believe I do detect, if I am not mistaken, pardon me if I am wrong here, something which seems to be none other than what one would consider a pleonasm, in the essay you’ve written here, Mister Ronald Jenkins at 82 Marmaduke Drive, Phoenix AR 51730. Correct me if I’m not entirely without rightness?”
