Monday Muddle: copywrite, copyright

Monday Muddle: Even copywriters aren’t likely to use the word “copywrite” unless they are talking about the rapper or the disk duplicator. (In both those cases, it should have a capital C.)

Monday Muddle: Copywrite: (verb) to write copy, generally for business or advertising. Rare back-formation from copywriting. Copyright: (noun) the authority to copy creative content (aka intellectual property).
