What do you make of the word 'photocopiable'?

Hi,

What do you make of the word 'photocopiable'? I know it actually doesn't exist yet but maybe it would come in handy to use it since it expresses a concept you need several words to describe.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten

Actually, the usefulness of this word has been discovered by others as well and its use is already "officially" allowed: Wink

Hi Amy,

Thanks for pointing this out, so it seems "photocopiable" is now on its way to become an established adjective of the English language. That's very good news...

Yes, I had already encountered usage of the word photocopiable on quite a number of occasions, but I suppose my own exposure to and use of the word doesn't count. Laughing
