    "ATM machine" - About 4,650,000 results "Cash machine" - About 5,890,000 results Seems it's perfectly acceptable language. I see it's used extensively by the BBC. "There are ATM in Dubai which..." does not sound correct.

Currently flying to the UAE and one of the little factoids says

"There are ATM machines in Dubai which dispense solid gold bars, you know, just in case you really fancy one on your way home from the club."

ATM machine is incorrect - it should just be ATM. I realize this is pedantic but it still bothered me!
