    YES! It heats the water. Redundancy is one of my pet peeves. Oh, and people repeating themselves! LOL!

    Exactly.

    Also when people say "A.C current"

    It's as you're saying "A.C.C" as in Acetyl-CoA-carboxylases.

    It's not a hot water heater, it's a water heater.

    In the IT world some say "NIC Card". NIC stands for Network Interface Card. So why would you call it a Network Interface Card Card????

    My theory is that the thing spends most of it's time keeping hot water hot that it's an accurate name for what it does most of the time.

    I have never thought about it, but it is a bit redundant...

    My favorite redundancy is "ask a question"
