Redundancy of words may create confusion. For example, "That guy deposited his money in the ATM machine." WHEW! Isn't the meaning of the acronym ATM is Automated Teller Machine? If we combine the meaning of the acronym ATM and machine, then we will have Automated Teller Machine machine. This is weird.

I think it should be like this:
"The meaning of the acronym ATM is Automated Teller Machine, isn’t it?"
Isn't the meaning of the acronym ATM is Automated Teller Machine?
This sounds better:
Isn't it that the acronym of ATM is Automated Teller Machine?
In my opinion, the use of tag questions like what Janine suggested will make the sentence sound better.
"WORD REDUNDANCY may create confusion."
WHEW!= This is an expression of relief. I don't think this is what you mean here.
You're getting better at commenting/correcting, people. Good job. =)
