Just had another debate with my New England friends... And keep seeing that National Ad with that young Male teen in a Cell Costume saying TEXTED ME, Over and over, then I see these guys at a Halloween Party with those same cellular Suits!! Just a Loving caring Dad for my kids!!!

***P.S.They tell me more people send texted messages daily than the entire population on the Planet.

I sent a text message to a friend yesterday and she texted me back. I will send another text to her today and another tomorrow. All in all I will have texted many times. SOUNDS RIGHT I BELIEVE

Its being used everywhere!! Just did a google to be sure!! YES VOTE HERE......

Texted is now very mainstream!

i think that the word text was traditionally a noun but in the us the lingo for sending a text message or sms (as they call it abroad) is 'texting' which is the word used as a verb. since its usage as a verb is new, any other verb tenses of the word would be new. in other words, the past tense of 'text' will most likely formally incorporate itselt into the english language as 'texted'.
ps - my caps is broken so don't criticize me for typing all in lower case!

Found a great blog with 2 different views. Called pain in the English.. Type in Texted on Google its there, then enter the word in search on site. Very bright People with high IQ's.... ENJOY!!!

its all the same

The verb 'to text' should be written as 'text' in the present,'text' in the past tense and 'text' in the past participle. Just like the verb 'to cut'
I cut my hair everyday
I cut my friend's hair yesterday
I have cut my friend"s hair before.
Normally verbs expressed in the past are written with an 'ed' ending unless the verb is an irregular one. The 'ed' ending has three sounds:/t/ sound , ex: watched ; a /d/ sound ex:'played' ; and an /id/ sound, example:'started'. Any verbs ending in 't' or 'd' get the /Id/. Normally text would then get the same ending, but the 'x' in 'text' makes it sound awkward. When you look at the verb 'to fax' the past form is spelled with 'ed' but sounds like 'faxt' to pronounced it with a /id/ ending would sound awkward. The same with the text verb. However the t at the end of text does denote an 'ed' past tense ending. So I think both should be acceptable. I prefer to use' text' for present and past forms of the verb, it sounds more natural to me.
