tel Tel Explanation: Tel is as you already know Japanese way of abbreviating "telephone number". Whereas in English it say "Phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx", equivalent Japanese is "Tel: xxx-xxx-xxxx". You'll see this on majority of Japanese business cards (check if you had a chance). A bit confusing but you would get used to this kind of "Japanese English". I cannot show you any web site to illustrate this because most of company shows toll free number in their contact section. Alas, in this case, by the way, they say "Free Dial" instead of "Toll Free Number" ... case in point (of another Japanese English example). By the way, you are asking another question "usage scenario". You cannot ask answers for two different question in one question format. See Kudo rule. Please post the second separate. Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 32 mins (2005-10-02 19:36:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- While I was searching related subject for another asker, I came across this site.
