Baron von Lederhosen :
Infamous certainly does NOT mean “famous for being bad” – i.e., you don’t have to have a highly well-known bad reputation to be infamous. Enjoy your day!😇😇😇

redundancy is not always unnecessary. people build redundancies into products in case the first measures fail. I suppose the term needs updated.

Craig :
Ultimate also means “the best” or “the most extreme,”
“the ultimate gaming experience,” is not referring to the last gaming experience but the pinnacle—the most exceptional or top-tier one possible.

Plethora is a large OR excessive amount of something. It is not incorrect to use it to describe something with tons of options that aren't necessarily excessive.

5) nowadays truth and fact may not be redundant if you are also a believer of something called “fake news” 7) I learned penultimate as 2nd to the last so ultimate meaning last makes sense

It’s wild to me that society can just change what words mean and then the world word authority committee (WWAC) is just like “ok we’ll change the definition I guess.”
