This is really starting to annoy me but I see it 99.9% of the time so I am now questioning whether I'm actually wrong.
Surely you should say: 'I texted her last night' NOT 'I text her last night'
Likewise: 'The newspaper article was biased'. NOT 'The newspaper article was bias'.
I'm pretty sure I'm right- but why does everyone get it wrong- is it simply that they can't easily hear the difference when they speak so the don't write it down???
