I love RAS syndrome
Sometimes people use an acronym alongside the words already contained in the acronym. Examples include:

- PIN number (personal identification number number)
- UPC code (universal product code code)
- CSS style sheets (cascading style sheets style sheets)

This is called RAS syndrome (redundant acronym syndrome syndrome).

Indeed.
TLA acronyms can be very annoying.

I agree
However being pedantic wouldn't CSS style sheets be cascading style sheets style sheets

This drives me INSANE with rage!
Even the banks own ATMs say it! "Please enter your PIN number!"

No! I will refuse to bank with a bank that has staff not even intelligent enough to know what they're talking about on such simple matters as this.

Except only one of those is an acronym.
