It doesnt exist.

"I texted my mom yesterday"
"I text my mom yesterday"

You sound like a hillbilly when you say it to those of us sophisticates that dont. Text is a multipurpose word and can be used for past tense.

Oh quit your bellyaching already. It certainly sounds better than "texeded."

The way I say it, it has two syllables. How you get 3 out of the word is beyond me.

It's because people have become too lazy to write complete sentences. It should be:

"I sent my mom a text message yesterday..."

Ain't nobody got time for that...

You're complaint is erroneous teacher.
The whole platform of communication in today's world on the internet is abbreviated or slang.

To get you're knickers twisted over Text and Texted is showing your OCD petticoat.
Warning proceeding to read this may cause anxiety, poster is indemnified if you proceed.

I can't give you the ultimate truth ,it's all a matter of perspective and spin. So I empower you with the gift of discernment.

Does it make you feel better to whine about people not using the english of yesteryears? Why are you writing in this english when it's not the english of your founding fathers, anyway? Or in your case, the english of the old UK prisoner colonies, or whatever.

Im just saying if i was dating some hot smart gal and she said. "Yeah, i texted my mom" I would cringe.. "No sexy you Text your momma".. next
 Quoting: RichardHead


Is English your second language?

Because that doesn't sound right to me. It actually sounds confusing.

But I suppose you could use a few extra sentences to explain what you meant, rather than an 'ed' to 'text.'
