Which do you use to indicate the past tense of text? I've always used "texted" but I hear "text" more often. I don't understand how that could be correct.

After a quick google search
The jury is still out.

New verbs normally occur as regular verbs, so you'd expect past tense and past participle texted. However, for reasons of phonology, some speakers may produce the past tense and past participle as text. Only time will tell which form wins. Perhaps they'll remain alternatives. Although the current meaning of text is new, it first occurred as a verb around 1600 when it meant 'To inscribe, write, or print in a text-hand or in capital or large letters'. The past tense and past participle occur as texted in all the OED's citations, including those illustrating the current meaning.

I prefer "text." Something just sounds off when people use "texted" speaking. Often times it almost sounds like they are saying "Texas."

Sometimes I'll think about the reason I'm sending a text well before I send it. I call that pretext.
