If you want to do something that makes my ears bleed, add some redundant words after your acronyms. Whenever I hear someone say "ATM machine," "PIN number," or "SAT test," I want to scream. Or punch a baby.
You wouldn't say "automated teller machine machine," "personal identification number number" or "standard achievement test test," would you?
Same goes for "LCD display" and "HTML language."
...and for the librarians out there, stop saying "ISBN number."
