Re: phrases that rankle Can't resist... "rate of speed" Seems to me that "speed" is a rate of travel or motion, thus the "rate of" is redundant. I believe this falls into the category someone has dubbed "baby puppies" -- like oxymorons, only the other way around. -- Kenn (decvax!goutal)

Well, how about "...And that's a true fact!" As distinct, apparently, from one that is false, or at least open to question.
