[Ads-l] Trivia: "facial features"

[Wilson Gray]

Needless to say, I've heard "facial features" used by people of all classes
and all levels of education for at least the past seven dekkids. But, back
when, prescriptive grammar taught us that this was an erroneous redundancy,
because, WRT people, "features" alone means "the features of the face."

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
