Clive  +  248216 Mon, 24 Jul 06 12:53 AM Hi guys, Google gives these results: a feedback - 8,050,000 hits. I didn't look at all of these (ha-ha). Some are adjectival, like 'a feedback control system'. feedbacks - 9,760,000 hits. (You'd think it would be 'feedsback', wouldn't you?) two feedbacks - 808 hits.         Feedback is also an audio/visual term. three feedbacks - 1960 hits. Whatever is the world coming to?

However, for the everyday meaning of "response, recommendation, input, advice, etc." - I shudder at the thought.

	Grammar Geek  +  625802 Mon, 29 Dec 08 01:24 PM Anonymous “I was looking for some advice online on the use of the word feedback as a verb as opposed to a noun and came across this forum. Is this usage correct: "I will feedback to you once I receive the results." Is it proper to use the word feedback as a verb? If it is, then what would be its past tense? Fedback? That sounds a little awkward to me, but it could be because I have never heard anyone use it in that sense. ” I can't say I've ever heard it used that way. Language evolves, of course, and it's possible that "I'll feedback you" or "I feedbacked him" will emerge at some point in the future, but for now, use "I'll give you feedback once..." (or "I gave him feedback after I ..."). It's even possible this is being used that way now in other dialects of English, but it's not currently in American Business English.   Grammar Geek Tenses, Nouns, Dialects, Past Tenses, Business English, Business, Countries, United States, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Online, Usages, American, Careers, Languages
