Team's Response

Reason for rejecting: Undid is an ambiguous word to use as it has various different meanings such as unfasten. The team feels that undo-ed is a better term as this may make it more clear for the user.

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: Most dictionaries state that 'undid' is the simple past tense of undo. All of the various different meanings such as unfastened, are because 'undo' has other meanings such as unfasten. Hence, as your command is already called 'undo', I don't think using the accurate past tense of undo would cause any confusion. In fact, "undo-ed" could cause more confusion as it is not a word and users might be confused about the meaning of "-ed". Hence, I believe that "undo-ed" is still a typo, and a bug, and should not have been rejected.
