Clovers In The Atmosphere

Need it be one or the other? Forced to choose, I say acceptable.
 

seeing as i posted anonymously last time, i'll use this post vote again for acceptable. acceptable 2, pretentious 0.
 

sorry, but I gotta go with pretentious. We call them "cell phones," dude.
 

pretentious. Though it appears I'm in the minority.
 

Acceptable. Technically, they are known as "cellular telephones" and who wants that on semi-professional emails?
 

acceptable; i would prefer "mobile:" over "cell phone:" myself if i weren't worried that ppl might think i was pretentious!
 

I agree with Fletch. In conversation, I refer to my cell phone, but "mobile" strikes me as more professional than does "cell," so on a business card or an e-mail signature I would use mobile, even if it sounds British.
 

you guys never have my back in these arguments. I find it painfully pretentious, but I am willing to accept a clear majority.
 

It does sound pretentious, but given that my phone classifies cell numbers as "Mobile," I guess I have to allow it.

Although if he listed his number as "(XXX) 555-XXXX (m)" I'd be like, "WTF?"
 

Is the title of the entry a pun?

Answer: undergraduates shdn't put their cell #s in their email sigs. In fact very, very few people should. Cell phones are for personal communication and emergencies and the number can be doled out appropriately.
