This thread is for asking grammar questions and correspondance questions that stump you. Smart people will answer.
Here is one: how do you refer to the action of carbon copying in business correspondence? For example, "I've taken the liberty of cc'ing John Public on this email, as he is tasked with overseeing resources in this area."
cc:ing?
I hate to use the term "carbon copying" because, well, it's not carbon anymore, is it?
Should I just say "I've taken the liberty of copying John Public on this email...?" But that's not exactly precise because it implies that I will send the copy to John after sending the original email. But I am copying him at the same time as the original email.
