(Vote): Feedbacked

(Vote): Fedbacked



feedback

Pronunciation: /ˈfiːdbak/
noun
[mass noun]
1information about reactions to a product, a person’s performance of a task, etc. which is used as a basis for improvement.
2the modification or control of a process or system by its results or effects, for example in a biochemical pathway or behavioural response. See also negative feedback, positive feedback.
3the return of a fraction of the output signal from an amplifier, microphone, or other device to the input of the same device; sound distortion produced by this.

As defined by Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, and essentially just repeated in Merriam Websters and Penguin's physical and online dictionaries. It now remains to conclude that feedback is never and likely never will be officially listed as a verb, seeing as controlling, not manipulating, a system by sheer will won't be possible anywhere but imaginary worlds, such as Aiur.

This means that when Day[9] asked if it was fedback or feedbacked, or fedbacked, it was neither. It's a culty slang word only used in very limited contexts, and it's the duty of the members of this culture to name it.

Thus I ask you all, is it feedbacked, fedback, fedbacked or none at all?

My vote is on fedback, with thoughts on the action itself. The High Templar "feeds" the internal systems of the, say, medivac, and overloads it by its own energy. The medivac is fed a signal that then carries out an intrinsic order in the, I assume, electronic system.

Feedback is a noun, which means it can't ever have an official past tense, right? I voted fedbacked, because I like unnecessary things.

Feedback isnt a verb outside of SC so none.
"Received feedback" would be a correct useage, though feedbacked sounds the least wrong imo

Feedbacked, because everything else sounds weird (regardless of whether or not it's grammatically correct).

Took me ages to realize what this post is about... :F

Where is the problem to properly use the word feedback together with a verb as it is supposed to be?

A full, grammatically correct sentence would be "(Insert unit or player A) cast (insert spell) on (insert unit or player B)!"

Because, technically, all(?) spells in SC2 are nouns, be it Feedback, Snipe (which doubles as a verb, conveniently enough), Fungal Growth, Psionic Storm, EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse), Seeker Missile.

But it's weird to say it all out so we just say (insert spell)'d something. So my vote is for Feedbacked.

SC2 is fast paced, and when Feedbacks are going down you can be assured that EMPs, Snipes, Fungals, and entire armies are dropping too. Gotta get those words in as quickly as possible.

Ok after all it seems, I still didnt get the content correctly LOL
Thought about giving feedback to someone, not the spell ingame... :F

And from a casters perspective, SC2 can be fast paced yes, but not anywhere near the constant speed of other games. So taking that into account, I guess myself would use "feedbacked" or just [insert random adjective] "feedback on x"

None, cuz it isn't a verb...?

So whatever you do you'll be wrong : allow ALL the things in that case IMO. Whatever the casters say, it doesn't matter.

I agree fedback. To feed would be the verb, back would be an adverb, right? so in the case of nouns it is mothers-in-law, not mother-in-laws. Even though it is part of the same "phrase" it's the proper part of the phrase that is affected, either by tense or plurality. To to feed, he feeds, he fed, or fedback. Or else, I suppose the proper way would be to say "He used feedback on the medivac," but that's just lamesies.

I don't really mind which one is used. I understand what they mean and that is enough for me. I dont really care what is the correct way of saying it. Maybe some do?

Well, if talking about Starcraft, "feedbacked" looks the most correct.

Feedbacked
Gues the verb would be "feedbacking" wich would make the past "feedbacked" according to general grammar rules i think?


Hmm ya you right, the right verb would be "casting feedback" as feedback itself is not a verb as others also said on this tread.
Was just going from the hypothetical verb "Feedbacking" and thinking what would be the past of "feedbacking" if it was an actual verb (wich it is not offcourse)

Why not just say "and the medivacs were hit with a feedback" or "The feedback use in that last fight destroyed the Banshees"? I can't think of a situation where I'd naturally say "The Hight templar were feedbacked" for instance. Just sounds wrong.

English, being the flexible language that it is, allows for immediate and painless shifts in grammatical category, so a noun like 'feedback' can easily become 'to feedback,' entering the same category as other compound or phrasal verbs such as 'bring up' that take the past form of the verb rather than add any additional inflections. 'Fedbacked' is completely wrong, 'feedbacked' is wrong but arguable, 'fedback' is perfect.

Whatever native speakers use the most, because they are the primary force behind creating and shaping a language.
