The company that makes Tasers has said that Taser is a brand name and that the correct word for being hit with one is "tased." I'm sure that the Taser company wants to avoid bad press from people being injured or hit with their item in ways that provide bad PR.

If you let the lawyers have their say, both forms are incorrect. Taser is a trademark and as such should only be used attributively; it can't be inflected in any way. They'd probably insist upon "a fan was shocked with a Taser brand electroshock weapon".

My personal preference would be for "tasered." I think "Taser" will become a genericized trademark to refer to all electrical powered stun guns and "tasered" will be the word that wins out. But that is just my opinion. I'm sure there are people on here who would disagree with me.

Surgery residents are getting less hands-on experience than ever, and it’s affecting their confidence and autonomy. A significant percentage don’t feel ready to independently perform core procedures upon residency completion,1 and over 90% opt for an additional fellowship year. In an effort to address this, The American Board of Surgery (ABS) recommended “rather than increasing the quantity of cases, we should be increasing the quality of teaching both clinical and procedural skills.”2

A Way with Words broadcasts at many different times, so we do what is known as a "call-out show." When you contact us or leave a voicemail, we read and listen to everything, and then arrange a later time to record selected callers. This gives everyone everywhere an equal chance of getting on the air, including podcast listeners.

The lack of access to high-quality surgical education is also affecting medical device companies. In an era of rapidly advancing technologies and procedures, training is often a rate-limiting factor. Current training approaches vary in effectiveness, and are not helping to address cost, and, most importantly, surgical mastery.

I think the key here would be comprehension. There is no clear winner here. A reference to being "tased" or being "tasered" would generally give the same impression to most people and you would be understood with either one.

We consider all of the many calls and messages, and what we don't put on the air, we save to help plan episodes and shape the program.

Gramatically speaking, I like the concept that a Taser tases, but I find "He was tasered" to be a nicer sounding sentence than "He was tased". My money's also on "tasered" to win out in the end.

That being said, the English language creates generic trademarks all the time (Band-Aid, Asprin, Zipper, Velcro, Google, Xerox). If a generic trademark is going to be created, the Taser company lawyers probably can't do much to stop it.

I was watching a Fox Sports crawl on TV today that stated that a Philadelphia Phillies baseball fan had been tasered after running onto the field. Shouldn't he have been tased?
