Hear and comprehend, as in verbal communication. Radio slang used to determine the proper
transfer of a message. Proper responses would run
along the lines of "
Roger." or "I copy."
Example:
"We've got to get this
truckload of cow parts through the state
border by
dawn, copy?."

implicit article, like "head") Editor: "
I need you to give copy by midnight. Or you can
