Hi all!
I have a question concerning phones. Yesterday in class I was talking about someone who had a mobile phone but did not have a stationary phone. The teacher corrected me and said that there is no such thing as "stationary phone" and I should use "land line" instead.
As I've always been a curious type of a person I've browsed the Internet and have found a few American websites, e.g. Vtech cordless stationary phone where there were "stationary phones".
Can English-speaking people comment on that? Perhaps somebody could also name all types of phones and explain the differences between them? I know there are some, e.g. mobile phone (UK) and cellular or cellphone (USA) or handy (Australia?).
Thanks a lot
