	+1 Clive  [More info] Hi, As the last two posts illustrate, 'feedback' is one of many words that is evolving, that is in a state of transition. It's easy to sound awkward when using this word as a count noun. The previous post points out one way. Another example of awkwardness is to say something like 'Please look at this sentence and give me a feedback'. My recommendation to learners is to treat it as uncountable when you use it. When you think you have a good understanding of how other people use the word, then you can start to be more ambitious.

	+1 nona the brit  [More info] I don't think I've ever heard feedback used in a countable sense. Perhaps this is one of those American habits? nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,782 The name says it all.

I have never, ever heard of feedback used this way, despite the anonymous posters assertion that it is common. And I work with some of the most jargon-loving people you will ever meet.  Feedback is not counted. If you receive feedback from many sources, you do not have feedbacks. It may be coming, but it is most certainly not here yet. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US Veteran Member 22,256 Barbara, who answers in American English.

	+1 nona the brit  [More info] Ok, can't pin this one on you yanks then. I don't know where it is used. It may be a national/regional thing; acceptable in one country's version of English but not in 'mainstream' English? nona the brit

	+1 Grammar Geek  [More info] I was going to blame the Martians. But since the anonymous poster seems to be from the "throw the grenade and then run" school, we can't really ask. (Cue the eerie music) ... if it really exists at all. Grammar Geek
