Magda  +  305481 Tue, 19 Dec 06 09:19 PM Hello, could "type" mean "record"? I've come across a sentence where "type" didn't mean "to write using a typewriter" but "to record" (of a film). Is it another meaning of this verb (my dictionary doesn't confirm it), or is it a mistake in my book? Thank you. Magda Joined on Sat, Sep 9 2006 Full Member 445 Verbs

Most dictionaries don't list many technical terms, but you could take a look at www.onelook.com anyway. The problem is that that word could mean everything without a context. You could also try posting the whole sentence that you don't understand here, maybe someone will be able to help you.

	Magda  +  305497 Tue, 19 Dec 06 10:24 PM No, it is "typed". I've just checked it in my text book. So, I assume that "tape" is the synonym of "record", and clearly "type" is a typo in my sentence . Magda Synonyms
