Hello everyone,
some dudes in a German forum want to teach me that the average American uses the word "handy" instead of "cell" or "mobile". Is this true?
In Germany we call the device a "Handy"; right; we are English-butchers all the way down; our mobile-devices are called "Handys", neither cell, mobiles or whatever ...
I know an American girl who lives near my place and who travels to the USA a lot; she lives here because she is married to a German guy. She is from LA and kepps telling me that the American-English word for the mobile-phone is usually "cell" or "mobile", sometimes "mobile device", but not "handy".
Does it change to "handy"? Please tell me, that this is not true ...
All the best!
Liam
