As 抄 involves excerpts, abridgments, and summaries, this kanji is perfect for modern life, what with our attention deficits and time shortages. Learn to say, "He excerpted the part in question from the minutes," "an abridged translation in modern Japanese," and "Because The Tale of Genji is very long, people made an abridged edition."
