Paris, France British English Collins says yes, but some dictionaries wouldn't let you have "video" as a verb at all. I'd definitely understand you if you said it, and the spelling is correct . I.

Berkshire, UK English - England By the way, ayed, The OED allows "video" as a verb -to make a video recording of. If it's in the OED, it's correct use of English!

A word of caution - this is not necessarily true. It depends on what you mean by correct. The OED reports English as it is used, not "correct English". It contains, for example, many words that are obsolete, colloquial, dialect, regional or slang. In many contexts such words would not be considered correct.

I was specifically referring to the word "Video" in the thread's context. Your observation would be correct if I'd gone off topic. You must log in or register to reply here. Share: Bluesky LinkedIn WhatsApp Email Share Link
