I find it unsettling when people use "text" as the past participle ("yesterday I text my mum").
But single syllable verbs ending in t or d often have irregular past participles. Eg "texted" or "sitted" or "hitted" is a bit of a mouthful.
I think an "e" often gets turned into an "a" in these situations.
So, whaddaya reckon, MN? "Taxt"? If we all use it, it'll definitely catch on.
