Just like PIN number, ATM machine, CAC card, and "is that a work PC or personal?" It's a very typical construction, for whatever reason.

It's a very typical construction, for whatever reason.
- cperciva 8y ago"is that a work PC or personal?" I disagree with putting this one into the same category. The "personal" in "PC" means "used by a single person; not shared" which is quite different from the meaning of "not belonging to an employer".
- TeMPOraL 8y agoAt least you use LED as a noun. In Poland, I constantly hear people saying "LED diode". I keep correcting this and "PIN number" indiscriminately.
