However I also would say locked down, not lockdowned. So it's not a hard rule for what sounds right but it makes sense to treat these words as verbs in this general context. I'd definitely rather say yamatoed, stormed, not always "used the yamato ability" or "casted psi storm." | ||

It should be something like "received feedback" or "suffered feedback" or "that high templar induced feedback!". | ||

So for example: overshoot --> overshot, not overshooted, because overshooting is a kind of shooting so it carries the same properties as shoot fly out (from baseball) --> flied out, not flew out, because the meaning is different, so the rule fly --> flew doesn't apply Based on this logic, feedback --> feedbacked, because the word feedback is unrelated to the original meaning of feed | ||

There are a few of us that know english (thanks), but most of us are terrible at it. Leave it to the people that know what's up, please. If you put the fate of the english language to a typical american (blizz is in u.s., that's why I chose it), it would lose all coherence in a couple generations. As pretty much everyone has mentioned already, and funnily enough, the guy from China has been speaking the most accurately, "Feedback" is a noun. However, since that word is just made up anyway, if we wanted to turn it into a verb as well and use it in past tense, "Fedback" is the most logical to me. You'd really have to ask Blizzard what language of origin they were thinking when they were coining it. It could go either way. To claim that language should be prescribed rather than described is wrong and (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_prescription) in extreme instances can be dangerous to the freedom of speech Speakers of a certain language are the only ones who can distinguish what is grammatical from what isn't. Language is a changing entity, constantly evolving and shaping in society and dictionaries don't exist to invent languages but rather document them At least that is my belief after 3 years of studying linguistics and English, and also ofc there are those who challenge that model as well, it just makes the most sense to me (how it SHOULD be). | ||

This made my day BTW the cart thing's name was derived from 'segue', it references a spatial dimension to the meaning of the original word. | ||
