excess verbiage

I like when people try to change the name of where they live because they think it has a better status to it. Like, I've come across quite a few documents at work where people put their city as "South Surrey" instead of just "Surrey". For those of you who don't know, Surrey is a Vancouver suburb that doesn't have the most favourable image to it. Apparently, I've been told that the neighborhood of South Surrey is like the nicest part of Surrey. I'm sure that it is. But the fact is, 1) there's no such city called that, and 2) it's still Surrey and you're not fooling anyone, buddy.
