Now, Stop That!

"Tomorrow night at 7 pm." "Sunday morning at 10 am." "This afternoon
at 4 pm." All examples of redundancy. Grammatically incorrect;
editorially unacceptable.

Sadly, this sort of thing shows up on a regular basis on CFRB and the
CBC. I don't get it.

Yes, I've heard the argument that the English language is ever
evolving, but that simply doesn't apply here. Next thing you know,
you'll be saying "free gift."
