I’m usually pretty pedantic with language (people using “begs the question” instead of “raises the question” raises by blood pressure just a little bit) but will disagree on chai tea. Just because chai means tea in another language, doesn’t mean chai tea is redundant the same way ATM machine is.
In English, we’ve taken the generic word for tea as a loanword and use it to describe a specific type of tea. Like hound dog, or Saharah desert. It’s essentially a new word in this context so not redundant. Machine in ATM is the same word as the machine that follows, so that one is at least justifiably something to be pedantic about.

He’s talking to himself? Must be the lack of sleep.
It could be worse
It could be significantly smaller and still achieve that. Many people wouldn’t like that though (I actually would like a better cone to chocolate ratio).

In my mind, personal property would be a subset of private property so getting rid of the larger set necessarily includes the subset.
So personal property as you’re using it presumably has a maximum allowable level? Or just as long as it’s for your personal use? No rental houses for example, but a vacation home would be ok?
