Texted

As a writer, I highbrow the word and find the multisyllabic form text-ed to be awkward. If we can't use text as a form of past tense, I would prefer to hear texted sounded out as text'd. People will chose it as they please, and I am sure that one day my literature will come across as 'old English' to some.
