Ooof. Calling Rogers is painful,

especially when it’s to buy a data plan from them. Nadia got a new phone yesterday – a Treo like mine – and for a device like that, a data plan is pretty important. So I called them up – knowing already what the deal on the table was – and signed up for a 3MB plan… for $25. I feel like Rogers is intentionally laughing at me or something. They invented plans in the late 90s for WAP and have kept charging people through the nose ever since.

Darlene, it’s called onomatopoeia: a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing, suggesting its source object.
