The use of impact as a verb meaning “to have an effect” often has a big impact on readers.

Eighty-four percent of the Usage Panel disapproves of the construction to impact on, as in the phrase social pathologies, common to the inner city, that impact heavily on such a community;

fully 95 percent disapproves of the use of impact as a transitive verb in the sentence Companies have used disposable techniques that have a potential for impacting our health.

It is unclear why this usage provokes such a strong response, but it cannot be because of novelty. Impact has been used as a verb since 1601, when it meant “to fix or pack in,” and its modern, figurative use dates from 1935. It may be that its frequent appearance in the jargon-riddled remarks of politicians, military officials, and financial analysts continues to make people suspicious.

Nevertheless, the verbal use of impact has become so common in the working language of corporations and institutions that many speakers have begun to regard it as standard. It seems likely, then, that the verb will eventually become as unobjectionable as contact is now, since it will no longer betray any particular pretentiousness on the part of those who use it.

some people hate to see impact used as a verb " to influence ' or"  have an effect on". some don't even like " impact'  as a noun if " effect ' can be used instead.

but all agree with this usage: 碰撞,冲击

NN告诉我的,看来还是对的.

JJ,这样的用法,如何能查得着啊?我说的是这样的规则.longman字典中也没查到啊.

745. The expected rise in the price of oil could be a serious impact to industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility to have an economy free of inflation.
(A) be a serious impact to industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility to have
(B) seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility to have
(C) seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility of having
(D) have a serious impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility to have（E）
(E) have a serious impact on industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility of having

问题：如果把C改为下面的形式，是不是比E好？
(C) seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility of having

看完整个讨论，觉得不能这样改，对吧？

impede是阻止的意思，故不如diminish，对吗？

impact不是可以是及物动词吗，而且意思是影响，那这里的C是不是不要用impact on,而直接用imoact就好了。
