You're right, which is why I don't. I don't say "PIN number," either. But a lot of people do. You know what's worse? The satellite TV company here advertises "MLB Baseball." Major League Baseball baseball? That's just silly.

I always just ask if people have an 'ATM.' I have never put machine at the end of it. You are right, it is redundant.
