Why “to print out”? Why not just “to print”? What je ne sais quoi does “out” add to “print”? How do these silly phrasal buzz-verbs come about? Does ANYONE believe that “out” adds ANYTHING to “print”? It’s certainly a fashionable and voguish affectation, but not at all substantive or essential. It’s a new area for Mrs Malaprop to develop.
