"Summing Mixer?" Arrggh!

[NewYorkDave]

A mixer is a summer.

A summer is a mixer.

"Summing mixer" is about as redundant as "automobile car."

Sorry... It just had to be said. Carry on. :thumb:

back to the point,
... we all say things that are not quite correct
These strange sayings can just happen and and then become normal.
They can even develop differently in the various countries.

It's all up to you

I grant your point, but when looking at radio, the "mixer" is a multiplier.

There's a word for this. 'Tautology'

from the dictionary (dot com)

tau·tol·o·gy  
a. Needless repetition of the same sense in different words; redundancy.
b. An instance of such repetition.

This one's somewhat different, but it's always bothered me: How many products come out claiming to be "new and improved"? I mean, how can something be an improved version of something AND new at the same time???

VCR recorder.
DAW workstation (I actually saw this one in a magazine that shall go unnamed.)
PDF format, AIFF format.

BTW, maybe we should Brewerytize this thread? Don't wanna get sued...

Peace,

A different beast, but this one sucks too.

one from my school days..
"secret ballot"

the original definition of a ballot is
"a system or occasion of secret voting"

sounds like "double secret probation" to me
