Folks,

 

I've done a search on the plural for "feedback" and now understand that as an uncountable, there is not a plural for it. I have to put out an instruction to employees to obtain feedback from at least X sources for their reviews. Would "you have to bring no less than X feedback responses to your review discussion" work? (No upper limit to the number of ... feedbacks...) :-)

Yes, that sounds OK.

Hi,

Thank you, Clive. I'm ESL, and where I grew up we only used English in self defense, so thanks for the less/fewer correction too.

 

BTW, I hear the Queen (the one who owns English) has a cousing called Awful? She apparently is the owner of the largest of the Englishes spoken around the world...!
