TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The word "text" has now become a verb. Although I do not use the feature
on my cell phone, apparently there are many who do. In school, it's a
neat way of passing notes to other students, something that was /streng
verboten/ when I was a wee lad.
Immediately the question arises, what are the principle parts of the
verb "to text"?
Present: text
Past (and pret?): texted, texed, text, textated, taxed, texxt - the
possibilities are endless. I prefer, "Sent a text message to."
What do you techwhirlers do?
Am I into a useful question here, or am I slowly becoming unhinged?
