Adding "pre-" to nouns
You don't "pre-drill" holes. You either drill them or you don't. You don't "pre-order" tickets on Ticketmaster. You order them. You don't "pre-rinse" dishes before you go in the dishwasher. You rinse them. (And if you need to rinse them, you need a new dishwasher anyway.) Stop adding "pre-" to verbs when it's not needed!
