mixer vs food mixer
Posted: Tue May 05, 2009 9:48 am
Hi,
I wrote a crossword about household items, with illustrations of different items as clues;
was I wrong to give them 'mixer' and not 'food mixer'?
I see that the term is either 'food mixer', 'electric food mixer', or simply 'mixer'.
Doesn't the context make it clear that the item is used for food and, consequently, there is no need to add 'food' before 'mixer'?
I do hope I was right
Thank you,
