RAS Syndrome

The unfortunate affliction demonstrated when someone feels the need to state the last word of a 3 letter acronym, as if it wasnt part of the acronym in the first place.

I forgot my PIN number when I went to use the ATM machine!

(translation) I forgot my Personal Identification Number number when I went to use the Automatic Teller Machine machine!

You will note the irony of the Acronym itself, which stands for Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome, which is a RAS syndrome itself!
