Tonya seems to have no filter today and she’s being quite vocal.  Her word for the day is ‘redundant’.    Here are her ‘redundant’ issues thus far for today:

NIC Card.  NIC stands for ‘network interface card’ so please don’t say “NIC card” in front of her.  “Because you are saying ‘network interface card card'”!!

ATM Machine.  ATM stands for ‘automated teller machine’.  Thus if you say “ATM machine” you are actually saying “Automated teller machine machine’.

UPC Code.  “Universal product code code”

HIV Virus.  “Human immunodeficiency virus virus”

PIN Number.  “Personal identification number number”

ACT Test.  “American college test test.”

VIN Number.  “Vehicle Identification Number number”

LCD Display.  “Liquid crystal display display.”

And last but not least:  RAS Syndrome.  “Redundant acronym syndrome syndrome”.

Consider yourself forewarned.

Now I need to get back to paying the bills and trying desperately not to speak with abbreviations today.

Pondering trivial issues,
