Yesterday, I had an argument at work.
"I text so and so to wish them a happy new year."
"What did you do?"
"I text so and so to wish them..."
"No, you texted so and so to wish them a happy new year."
"I text."
"You texted."
"Text."
"Texted."
"Text! Text! Text! There's no such word as Texted"
I lose the argument.
I have never text/texted in my godforsaken life, and I had never felt the need to describe it until yesterday.
My brain hurted.
