A pedant posted somewhere, though I can't now find it, that she cringed when she saw " he texted me". I have always used this when referring to the past tense. It is very common, I know, to abbreviate it to " text" especially by younger people. I am now wondering whether it's "he texed" me? I have always been confident that I was right and other people wrong but have been slightly shaken by pedant's making her observation. Or is this an accepted form given the brief nature of text(ing) in general? I know it doesn't matter over much. I shall continue to say texted and cringe at "he text".
