Q&A: ‘Faxsimile’? (Question about English word)?
I got a business card from someone, and there’s a word, ‘Faxsimile’ in it.
I thought we usually use ‘Fax’ for a fax number, and ‘fax’ is an abbreviation of ‘facsimile’..not ‘faxsimile’.
Was it just a spelling mistake?
Or can you use like ‘Fax simile/Fax-simile’ in English?
The person who gave me the business card and I are non-native English speaker,
so he shouldn’t have used it as a joke.
It was written in Japanese and English.
