It is too bad that the Grammar Police have been banned from TubeNet. With the current crop of posts TubeNet has been harvesting, the Grammar Police would have a field day.

One popular phrase that has always bugged me is... "At this point in time".

"At this point" and "At this time" each mean the same thing. No need for both as it's redundant.

A lot of elected officials use the phrase wrong, but they're wrong most of the time anyway.

So do the grammar police work at the Department of Redundancy Department?

At this time and at this point on my map, I would have to disagree with you.
