Ah, but Bonzo, was Jim's definition [dummy = 'comforter'] what you had in mind in titling the thread?

That's how I interpreted it.

To add an "r" to give "mobile phoners ….."   gives a word that I would never use. "mobile 'phone users …."   or "people on mobile 'phones …."   perhaps, but never "mobile phoners".   Even if, in grammatical terms, "phoners"   is allowed, it oughtn't to be. It's just plain ugly.

The opening thread title makes perfect sense to me.
