Mail and copy

A classic request!

Here are the definitions of "mail" and "copy":

Mail:

• To send a letter, package, or document through the postal service or electronic mail (email).
• A letter, package, or document that is sent through the postal service or electronic mail.

Example sentences:

• I'm going to mail this package to my friend tomorrow.
• Can you mail me the documents I need to sign?

Copy:

• A duplicate or reproduction of a document, image, or other written or printed material.
• To make a duplicate or reproduction of a document, image, or other written or printed material.

Example sentences:

• Can you make a copy of this document for me?
• I need to copy this image onto a new hard drive.

In the context of sending documents, "mail" typically refers to the act of sending a physical document through the postal service, while "copy" refers to making a duplicate of the document. However, in modern times, "email" has become a common way to send digital documents, and "copy" can also refer to sending a digital duplicate of a document to someone.

I hope that helps clarify the difference!
