Thank you, Lotos.

Is it incorrect to say the following way?:

1) I cc'd John that email.
or 2) I cc'd that email to John.

Hi Organica,

Think of cc'd as copied. In fact, it originally meant carbon copy.

1) I cc'd John that email.
I copied John that email.
(sounds odd, but I've heard it; much better with on: cc'd is probably being used as sent)

2) I cc'd that email to John.
I copied that email to John. (ok)

3) I cc'd John on that email.
I copied John on that email. (ok)
