The weak shall inherit

I was a bit taken aback just now to see Facebook auf deutsch telling me "Freundschaftsantrag versendet". Call me altmodisch, but that just sounds Denglishy to me. I would've used the strong(ish) participle versandt and reserved the regular ending for the meaning "broadcast" (e.g. "Die Serie wird seit erst seit kurzem gesendet"), which--whatever its actual origin--has always struck me as a calque on English. But I suppose the distinction is much blurred these days when that request was never more than bits and may well have been viewed on a mobile device.
