Redundancy

Department of Redundancy Department

First the sign to the right of the door replaced a paper sign letting people in my office building know where to find the stairs. Apparently this wasn’t enough, because a new sign appeared ON the door.

This is bothersome squared for me. Not only is it completely redundant, but there’s a different word on each sign! In different fonts, no less. I am a firm believer in effective communication, but you’ve also got to believe that your reader has some independent brain power.
