answer @Joe Blow - I guess it depends on your ear... As I said,
my ear wants "input" to follow the same rules as "put"; if I
"putted" 100 items yesterday, they had better have been golf
balls. –  MT_Head Jun 21 '11 at 7:49 @MTH So you would say
"Yesterday I put 100 balls in a bag." I suppose you're right,
thanks. That's the damn trouble with these new, computer-and-
technology-related words - there's no rich backdrop feel. I've
got a feeling there's some situations where you would need to
use "inputted" - but I can't put my finger on it :-/ –  Joe Blow

answer don't you mean they have already "inputted" the data? –
