ILLOGICAL: mail -> mailed -> e-(mailed) therefore feedback-ed. | ||

Feedback has a nice ring to it I think, but I have no clue what is correct english in this way. | ||

I don't think I understand it is supposed to be e-mail, but modern usage has made it email. The original idea was electronic-mail so now we use it as a verb as in to e-mail. to mail is still the verb so it is mail in e-mail that gets the ed. If we were to say it as it were originally meant, to go from a noun to a verb e (electronic) would need to be changed from an adjective (electronic) to and adverb (electronically) so, I electronically mailed it to you, or still e-mailed. So it still makes sense but not just because they threw ed on the end but because the ed makes the verb (to mail) past tense. As in the case of feedback, if ever that were to become a verb, to feed is the verb, so that would be what ought to be changed into the past tense (fed). But maybe I misunderstand completely what you are trying to say in which case, ignore me =^P | ||

Although I think feedbacked would probably be most correct. It's consistant with the other spells. We say stormed, sniped and fungaled, so why not feedbacked? It doesn't have such a nice ring to it though. Also, for fun: feedback conjugaiton | ||

[feed] + [back] -> [feedback] -> [feedback]-ed There's really no right or wrong with something like this, but feedbacked is by far more consistent with the rest of English's morphological rules. | ||

"I use Feedback," or, "I will Feedback you." I voted, "Fedback," because it just kinda sounds correct to me. | ||

Feed is a verb too right? | ||

I like the idea of coining our own phrase for it, because frankly e-Sports language is still far too easy for a casual observer to understand and I'm a hipster. (Sarcasm, please don't think I'm trying to make SC2 less-accessible.) | ||

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but your post is the most wrong (to me) out of everyone's. There are a few of us that know english (thanks), but most of us are terrible at it. Leave it to the people that know what's up, please. If you put the fate of the english language to a typical american (blizz is in u.s., that's why I chose it), it would lose all coherence in a couple generations. As pretty much everyone has mentioned already, and funnily enough, the guy from China has been speaking the most accurately, "Feedback" is a noun. However, since that word is just made up anyway, if we wanted to turn it into a verb as well and use it in past tense, "Fedback" is the most logical to me. You'd really have to ask Blizzard what language of origin they were thinking when they were coining it. It could go either way. | ||
