it has now become a verb, sadly.
But worse still is that it seems to have lost its final t. So the past tense has become 'texed', rather than 'texted'.
That gets right on my tits.

Is it too much to ask that, if these morons are going to mangle the English language, they at least pay some attention to the grammatical structures while they do it?

"Texes", as in "I never read his texes, Jeremy. You can do a lie-detector test if you want"
For fuck's sake, it's 'Texts'. I understand that language evolves, but why in god's name would you want to extend a one-syllable word to two? (And anyway, everyone knows that 'Texes' are those things the Queen takes from us to spend on roast swan.)

I've never heard "texed". It's an especially fuckwitted past participle as "text" and "texed" sound almost exactly the same.

Definitely true. I've heard lots of people saying it, and not just kids.
