Why do most people....

Question

call a water heater a HOT water heater when you don't need to heat hot water?

Answer 1

LOL, thats true ! and I don't know why , maybe those are the people with cool water heaters

Answer 2

LOL--you're right. Are you George Carlin reincarnated (rest his soul), or should I say "reincarlinated" ??? :)  

Probably the same reason people insist on saying "blood vein", "lead pencil" and "ink pen". Juuuuuust a bit redundant.  

Answer 3

Same reason they call north "up north" and south "down south."
