I'm in the NYTimes!
….kind of. I’m an avid reader of economics blogs and the Freakonomics blog, hosted by the NYTimes, is one of my daily reads. Stephen Dubner, one of the two main co-authors, is a fan of aptonyms (when someone’s last name is well-suited to their profession). As part of my daily tech reading, I came across an aptonym in an article on Google, sent it in to Dubner and made it to the Freakonomics’ “This Week in Aptonyms” post.
Sitar Teli of London sent this aptonym:
The relevant paragraph is the 5th one down: “Cost per employee? San Jose-based caterer Abe Caterman (really!) guesses it would cost Google about $15 per day, per employee, for breakfast and lunch. But Prentiss Hall, a helpful exec at Aramark Business Dining Services, thinks Google could be spending closer to $30 a day, based on the quality and level of service the company provides.”
