"texting" and "texted"

These words sound so incorrect to me. I always say "I am sending him a text," instead of "I'm texting him," or "She sent me a text," instead of "She texted me."

Corporatespeak - fantastic word!

I hate to hear a nurses aide or such ask a patient if they have to "wee" or "piss". Surely they know the correct words! Same with waitresses who ask if you've "made all gone." Ack! You've just confirmed your tip.

I may be all alone in this last one, but when did people quit getting invitations and start getting invites? "Invites" sounds like something out of The Beverly Hillbillies!
