xeroxing

Once upon a time, the copy editorial guild united against “xeroxing” — to many authors’ fury — in favor, primly, of “photocopying.”

People these days spend more time in offices googling and Skyping than xeroxing documents.

But where you put the cameras and flash is a choice, and xeroxing the rear of the iPhone does trouble me: I don’t want to be seen carrying an iPhone-wannabe phone.

It’s just all xeroxing, there’s nothing original about it.
