I text her vs I texted her

[Comito]

For some reason, people saying 'I text her' rather than 'I texted her' (past tense) really grates on me. What should it be?

checks anxiously for spelling or grammatical errors

I accept that 'to text' is a verb.
'I text her' is present tense.
'I texted her' is past tense.

Of course it should be texted. I don't mind the use of "text" as a verb, the language develops and all that. But any new verb formation must take standard conjugation, which simply means adding -ed in the past tense

I really don't see why anyone thinks it sounds odd. after all, you wouldn't sat "test" instead of "tested" or "rent" instead of "rented".
