    Comedian George Carlin once said, "Language is a tool for concealing the truth." In his short essay, "Count the Superfluous Redundant Pleonastic Tautologies," Carlin humorously employs pleonasms - instances where the user employs more words than are necessary to convey meaning (e.g., see with one's eyes), either as a fault of style or for emphasis.
