	Clive  +  247990 Sat, 22 Jul 06 08:23 PM 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.

	Grammar Geek  +  248141 Sun, 23 Jul 06 04:40 PM Oh, no you don't Nona! I'll take responsibility for not having enough kettles and drinking barbarian drinks like coffee more than tea, but not this one! 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 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member 18,770 Barbara, who answers in American English. Plurals

	nona the brit  +  248144 Sun, 23 Jul 06 04:55 PM 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 Plurals

	Grammar Geek  +  248149 Sun, 23 Jul 06 05:11 PM 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 Plurals
