Sorry, there is no Hot Water Heater

[fantasyisle]

Hi,


It might heat water that could be considered "hot", but calling it a "hot water heater" suggests it only heats "hot" water.

When you put a pan with water on the stove because you don't want to light the unit that produces hot water or you use a pan to heat water because you don't need 6 or more gallons of "hot water", is the pan on the stove a water heater? Of course it is.. I don't think it's so bad when you talk about a heater that has a defined purpose to make "hot water" a "hot water" heater; otherwise if you don't make a distinction, anything that heats water is a water heater. Put a bowl in the focus point of a sun-oven, is that a water heater? Yes. When I say my "hot water" heater. I know that I am speaking of the device that has a defined purpose of heating water so that becomes my "hot water" heater, otherwise everything that holds water and will sit on top of a flame or in the sunlight or any water that passes over an engine block or a hot grid of black material in a insulated glass frame is a "water heater". In fact is the engine in your car a "water heater" that pumps "hot water" through a small radiator with air that blows through it to heat the cabin? Of course it is. But it's certainly not considered a "hot water" heater. Nor is the sun oven and glass jar a "hot water" heater or the solar collector what has water passing through it a "hot water" heater. Saying "hot water" in front of heater narrows down the subject to exactly one device. A "water heater" in turn as we have just proven can be just about anything that gets warm and contains water.

I'm subscribed to this thread and am amused by some of these arguments...

You guys definitely have too much time on your hands.

Yeah, it's redundant....so *#@#@# what....

Is this an example of a noun becoming an adjective?

Fish Sandwich

Fish=adjective, Sandwich = Noun

Tuna Fish Sandwich

Tuna=adjective specifier
Fish=adjective
Sandwich =Noun

Or is it

Tuna = adjective
Fish-sandwich =noun

You've got some place to be in a hurry?

Besides this is more fun than other things I see on the net.

In your diesel powered motorhome, do you step on the gas pedal?

I used to correct my co-workers before I retired. Some used say, "Let's plan on having a pre-planning meeting."

I used to respond by asking if the purpose of the pre-planning meeting was to "Plan to plan."

Come on folks, it's simply a planning meeting.

Then there is shrimp scampi.


Or, should we just say shrimp shrimp?

Well I typically don't call it a gas pedal but smelly gas does come out when I step on it.

There is no such device in your RV as a Hot water heater.

You have a water heater.

So Red Baron, would this make you the director of the “Department of Redundancy Dept.”?
