Re: Webcasted is not a word!!!
Hmmm!. Looks like reading/writing may be suffering as much as Science and Tech.
Xerox is a great company to work for. (Xerox is a noun)
She xerox'd her resume on the company's machine. (xerox'd, with no cap,
is a verb with past tense).
It's a xerox image - not an original. (xerox is an adjective)
The program was shown on broadcast television. (broadcast is an adjective)
Why don't you just wikipedia it. (wikipedia, with no cap, is a verb).
Googling that subject was real time consuming. (Googling is a gerund).
Yes I'm going to photoshop that picture before I publish it but I'm
going to do it with Gimp. (photoshop is a verb).
She saw the webcast.
She webcasted the saw.
I webcast, you webcast, she webcasts. (Present Tense)
I webcasted, you webcasted, she webcasted. (Past Tense)
I webcast, you webcast, she webcast. (Alternative for Past Tense)
I will webcast, you will webcast, she will webcast. (Future Tense)
All of the above, at least IMHO, and if I didn't make a mistake, are correct forms/transforms for American
English. None of them violate any rules of grammatical formation and
they all have unambiguous (if not obvious) meaning.
For British/International English the first example would be "Xerox are a
great company to work for".
