Actually cc is for carbon copy, it's been that way since carbon psper was available. With the advent of photocopiers, email and other technologies, the term evolved to couresy copy. That raise the question that if one gets a cc email or otherwise requesting a specific action to take place, does the individual on the cc need to take that action?

it means Carbon Copy ( refers to a 'carbon copy' - years ago copies were made by typing a letter with a piece of carbon paper under the original and another blank sheet under the carbon, in order to make a 'copy' - this 'carbon copy' was then sent to another reader to keep them informed of the situation as well

CC: will sometimes be fllowed by names to which the carbon copies were sent

Even the term "xc" for xerox copy has really gone the way of the carbon copy. Should we use "kc" for Kodak copy

or "hpc" for a Hewlett Packard copy? Is there really a carbon, or xerox, or a copy in electronic mail?

I am trying to send a business letter that includes a P.S. at the bottom and also a carbon copy. At the moment, I have the P.S. and then the carbon copy at the bottom of the letter, can you tell me if this is correct?
