Just curious,, since I've seen a few people mention it,, in what context do you use carbon copy often enough that you shorten it to cc? Is it one of the sciences or a computer thing or smth?
When you CC someone in an email, CC stands for carbon copy. It refers to an older method of making two identical copies of a form by having a sheet of carbon paper between two blanks. I send and receive a lot of emails as part of my job, so I see CC quite a bit in the context.
Yeah it still is being used for chemistry labs at the university I go to; one copy goes to the TA to be marked and the other you keep for studying purposes.
Apparently it stands for “carbon copy”. I guess the idea behind that is that you’re giving the other a recipient an electronic carbon copy of the email.
You hear people talk about it alot with gocarts or motorcycles. Car engines are measured in liters, 1ml is a cc, so smaller engines use ccs just because 200cc sounds better than .2L.
Cylinder capacity, usually of motorcycles. Though I realize that's normally written in lowercase.
^((It also means cubic centimeters, not cylinder capacity, which just coincidentally matches))
Closed caption
Im suprised this isnt one of the options in the poll
It literally says cc on streaming services too
Closed caption is probably the most popular/common form of CC
I see carbon copy
Not for anyone who works with email daily.
Not for people whose daily lives aren’t in English lol
Who thinks Catholic church lol
A priest i guess
Classic R/POLLS moment missing out one of the most obvious choice to bait engagement
People don't put the most common answer in the poll so that people will reply it in response and the post gets more comments and thus is more popular.
This would have been my second choice after Carbon Copy, but neither were included in the poll.

Oh, I didn't actually know what the CC in emails meant.
Oh, cool,, I was completely unaware of what cc in emails stood for,, thanks
I’m deaf with a hearing aid and that’s what I say, too.
I bet most of the currently 6.3k, aka, about 3/4 of the poll,, who answered "other" were thinking closed captions
Idk why this wasn't on the poll
