Murray, I didn't think I said anything about copywriting, though as someone who has done a fair bit of copywriting for a living, I am aware of the way language use changes and `develops'.

I was actually enquiring about `copyright', a word that may not be a verb, offically at least, but is already some of the way there. It is listed by the OED and Websters as a transitive verb: to copyright a [something].

As someone often paid by the number of written words produced I accept I should probably know better. After all, sentences such as "I think I should set in motion a series of actions that would allow me to obtain copyright to this piece of work" has far more words in it than "I think I'll copyright this".
