So my reaction to the above line would be "Huh? Why didn't they write `TO` to be consistent?" I understand "CC" arose as an initialism whereas "To" is a word, but nowadays I consider the "Cc" of my email messages to be a word more than an initialism (IOW it means "CC" more than it means "Carbon Copy").
