CC someone

PronunciationSEE-see SUM-wun
Definition
To include someone on an email thread so they can read the conversation for visibility without being the primary recipient. It comes from the older office practice of using carbon paper to make copies of typed letters.
Where you hear it
In team syncs, email requests, and project update discussions when discussing who needs to stay informed about an ongoing issue.
Examples
CC me on the email to the client so I can track the request.
I will CC the manager on this thread to keep them updated on the bug fix.
Common mistake
Thinking that CCing someone means they are required to take action or reply, whereas it is usually just for their awareness and visibility.
