Impact - English editing.

The verb impact on, as in when produce is lost, it always impacts on the bottom line, has been in the language since the 1960s. Many people disapprove of it, despite its relative frequency, saying that make an impact on or other equivalent wordings should be used instead. They may object partly because new forms of verbs from nouns (as in the case of impact) are often regarded as somehow inferior. Also, since the use of impact is associated with business and commercial writing, it has the unenviable status of jargon, which makes it doubly disliked.
