I do wish people would stop using “impacted” as a verb in the place of more appropriate words, such as “positively affected”, or “greatly influenced”, etc. Doing THAT would display a much better understanding of the English language, and is evidence of having actually done a great deal of reading. “Impacted”, “impact” as a verb, and the worst of the worst, “impactful” (((shud-d-d-der))) are yuppie inventions that still land rather awkwardly on the ear. Try very hard to find better ways to express yourself.
