[edit] List of onomatopoeias

A completely useless word list. There is no reason for this article other than as a place to list whatever their favorite onomatopoeias are. A short list on the onomatopoeia page (which is already there) is all that is necessary. Delete as a useless list. Wickethewok 13:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
