countdown

[edit]

I don't think that this is used as a verb. It might be an alternate spelling of misspelling of infinitive and 1st, 2nd, 3rd pl. present forms of "count down". But my thinking is mostly based on the implausiblity of the inflected forms, wherever the inflecting morphemes are placed. DCDuring 15:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm definitely inclined to agree. Countdowning...hah. — [ ric ] opiaterein15:35, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I agree wholeheartedly. But don't laugh too soon. I had an ugly surprise when I questioned strikethrough a few months back!! - Algrif 19:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Remove. I just double-checked "countdown" in every dictionary entry turned up by Onelook and in the OED as well. None of them recognizes a verb sense. -- WikiPedant 20:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
