cc'ing

Any takers? SemperBlotto 22:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I prefer "CC'ing", personally, and b.g.c. suggests that most writers prefer "cc-ing"; and, there's interference from an automotive use of "cc" that seems to mean "to determine the volume of" (presumably after cc = "cubic centimeter"), but there are at least 5–10 cites for "cc'ing" in the e-mail/memo sense. Here are three (using curly quotes at DAVilla's request):

• 2000, Harvey A. Robbins and Michael Finley, The New Why Teams Don't Work: What Goes Wrong and how to Make it Right, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, →ISBN, page 138,

  The animosity was so complete that they stopped cc’ing routine items to one another, and even scheduled illegal meetings on the sly, without the other one present.

• 2004, Kate White, ’Til Death Do Us Part, Warner Books, →ISBN, page 64,

  “She kept sending all of you those awful e-mails and cc'ing me. […]”

• 2007, Angel J. Salazar and Steve Sawyer, Handbook of Information Technology in Organizations and Electronic Markets, World Scientific, →ISBN, page 58,

  Redundant ICT-enabled communication such as follow-up emails and cc’ing multiple people is not as necessary in the FTF environment where a passing glance on the way to the water cooler suggests someone is hard at work on her desk.

Don't ask me to explain what the third one is talking about, though. :-)
