Past tense of “text”

  • March 3, 2016, 9:22am

It's mind boggling!!!! I feel like a criminal when I use the word texted. I have to think long and hard before I push the send button, for fear that the grammar police will be busting down my door. Prior to having a cell phone I did not use the word text. But, I am finding myself accepting things that I don't completely understand. I am just happy to know that this is actually a topic worthy of discussion. I thought I was all alone in lack of understanding in the "texting grammer" world.
