Seems like they always start with "the assembler language," which I take as "the language of the assembler," and then they sometimes get sloppy after that. I've never heard someone say "assembler language" (or maybe I just tuned it out.)
It's definitely a thing that happens. I believe it comes from the phrase "assembler language" that IBM manuals used instead of "assembly".
