5:56 PM - Unlimited

I'm rather sick of companies using the word unlimited to sell services. Clearly, they do not mean unlimited. It is common practice for Internet access and cell phone plans.

During a discussion today, we talked about what unlimited means. I decided to look it up in the dictionary.

unlimited:

not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity or extent
(mac os x dictionary which uses OED as a source)

So clearly, unlimited means no limits, yet there are limits on service. I wish someone would file a lawsuit for false advertising.
