'Telephonic contact' vs 'Telephonic conversation' Wed Feb 28, 2007 13:11 pm  'Telephonic contact' vs 'Telephonic conversation'
 

Hi

Once I was told here that "telephonic conversation" sounded odd to native years. But, what about 'Telephonic contact'? Is it OK? Is 'telephone contact' also correct?

'Telephonic' sounds euphuistic and old-fashioned in any context; 'telephone contact' is much better.
