Whats with people and redundancies? This is one of my pet peeves, even though I'm known to use them...

For example... Take the following phrases that are commonly used...

NIC Card, ATM Machine, PIN Number, etc...

What is actually being said is

Network Interface Card Card
Automated Teller Machine Machine
Personal Identification Number Number

Ack!

A bank in my country advertises the ATM as Any Time Money Machine
