[David in San Antonio]

Bob Johnson, thank you for pointing out the common “VIN number” error. In the same vein, despite everyone’s protests to the contrary, not a single home or apartment in the United States has a hot water heater. If the water was hot you wouldn’t need to heat it.
And they’re willing to bet a dollar they’ve used an ATM machine. But an ATM machine is the term for a machine that makes Automatic Teller Machines. And when they sincerely assert they use an ATM machine, they enter their PIN number. As in Personal Identification Number Number. I stopped pointing out these things as I am older, perhaps wiser, and certainly less able to dodge a fist aimed at my nose.
