FAX

Question

Are these sentences correct? -Could you send September's invoice via fax?-Could you fax September's invoice to us?Thank you very much for your help.

I wouldn't hesitate to use 'fax' as a verb, so option 2 is my preferred.
Also, I believe you can even drop the 'to' and make it : 'Could you fax us september's invoice'.
Let's wait and see what everybody else has to say about this...

I agree with using fax as a verb.  Both suggestions are fine.  Fax is also used with 'over' quite a lot - 'Could you fax over September's invoice?'

"Fax" is a transitive verb.

PHILIPKA · Answer

I would accept both sentences -- that is, the use of "fax" as a noun and as a verb -- as correct. In the first case, however, the expression tends to be "by fax": e.g. "send it by fax".

Love!
