    That's what I say - and I always get laughed at. What are you meant to say? Texted is the past tense of text, is it not? Where's Hitcher..

    No its not, the word is 'text'
    I text him earlier etc.

    Like the word past....when you pass a car, you haven't pasted it, you've past it.
    It has something to do with the 'T' on the end....replaces the 'ed' or some shit.
    Hitcher could probably explain it.

    Oh. Dear. God.
    The BDOTGNZA are turning in their collective graves...

    In past times, time passed slowly, with my pastime of putting paste on my bus pass.
    I passed a car = I went past a car.

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Wait, what?

    When you pass a car, you have passed it, haven't you?

    Past is in time, I believe.

    I still don't understand why the past tense of "text" is not "texted"

    Hitcher!!!!

    Yes indeed passed, my bad, but passed is one syllable with the 'ed added, unlike texted....school C english was a fail for me....
    But the 'T' on the end has something to with it....I used the wrong word in this case. Bling sent.

    I didn't know what Str8jacket was referring to but saw it with my own eyes the other night - they advertised that a show was going to be on TV2 on "THU" which I assume is Thursday!

    Bloody hell, we're doomed! Wonder if they're doing it on Teletext too? (Our new set doesn't have it.)
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Maybe will have to put a thread on there. Have not heard of any rule about not adding ed to words ending in t. Will have to get my thinking cap on.

    WOOT, they've given up!

    See below for link to story...

    These statements made me laugh:

    "We have learned in that period that vowels are extremely important to New Zealanders."

    More than 6000 people have signed up to the 'I hate TV2's new abbreviations' Facebook group.

    AND THE BEST:
    "It was an idea that was obviously not appreciated."
