I don’t have a particularly strong distaste for redundancy but people blindly saying things without thinking nor any concern toward being readily understood is a bit of a peeve of mine. Particularly, I get offended when people expect one person to handle all of the effort for all sides of a conversation without supplying their sides’ tools for doing so. Partly as an example, I have to wonder if you’re getting downvoted by people who think that “n times as many as” “n times more than” are the same amount despite the obvious fact that “one time more than” is, by that standard, not at all more than the thing it’s compared to. They just refuse to consider that what they’re saying is plainly wrong and insist that people learn their wrong way of speaking. Grr.

Anyway, I assume I’m hopping onto the train to Karma Hell with you (as always; people who hate thinking really hate having their “thinking” questioned) so let’s meet in the food car and get a sandwich together, yeah? You’re already ahead on indignant downvotes so you can buy :P
