Note
A noun pressed into service as a verb, and the verb is a US usage. It inflects regularly, so one spelling covers both past and participle: an algorithm preferenced certain posts, and staff were preferenced for offices. The meaning leans toward treatment rather than taste. To be preferenced is to be given an advantage, whereas preferred usually just says someone liked you better.
