HOT WATER HEATER: Don't ever go to a plumbing supplier and try to buy a hot water heater. Oh, they'll know what you mean. And they’ll probably be polite, because they see a fool and his money, soon to be parted. But they won't sell you one.

There's no such thing as a hot water heater, because who wants to heat hot water, anyway? What you're getting is a water heater. It doesn’t even say hot water heater on the box. Saying water heater consistently is a condition for discharge from the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired.
