Texted

  • March 15, 2012, 8:09am

I've been frustrated with this myself and I believe that saying "text-ed" is ignorant an basically removing the verb from a sentence. Texted is incorrect and SHOULD be text'd as in "text messaged" messaged being the verb. Text is nothing more than WORDS compiled to form sentences and paragraphs. You can't text someone because the action taken to place the text into format is the action or verb, ie writing or typing.
