Personal Identification Number is more than a mouthful and our society likes convenience and saying PIN is more convenient

Same reason why they say ATM machine. The "M" in ATM stands for machine already. So everyone's really saying Automated Teller Machine Machine.

Is that anything like CPU and BIOS? I'd say its short hand for a long phrase. Does this bother you?
