Why do people insist on saying “pre”-planned? It’s repetitive and redundant.

Repetitive and redundant is repetitive and redundant.

Ya' mean you can't post-plan something?

Good point... now I'll have another grammatical hang-up that will never cease to haunt me every time I hear the common man speak.

Thanks for that.
