Stevo985 Posted March 16, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2011 If "Text" is a verb, which I guess it's accepted these days that it is, then "Text" is present tense. "Texted" I ssurely past tense and so is the correct word to use. So if the word was "test", you wouldn't say "I test the machine last week" You'd say "I tested the machine last week" Therefore, ergo, in conclusion, ultimately, "texted" is correct.

It isn't, of course, otherwise the present tense would be to "tex". One for the denizens of Amarillo or Fort Worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Waking up an hour and a half earlier for my workout because of someone else's schedule. And while it sounds ridiculous "texted" is correct..........sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Going to use my stapler and having no staples in it. For some reason I think it should have an endless supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf_stewart Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Going to use my stapler and having no staples in it. For some reason I think it should have an endless supply. Ditto! I properly resent having to refill my stapler. I also have a weird '6th sense' about knowing when it's going to be empty (in reality probably a slight pressue change when you're down to the last few).

mjmooney Posted March 16, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2011 That's simply one of the Immutable Laws of the Universe. The stapler is always full until YOU come to use it. The printer always runs out of paper when YOU want to print something. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 that dreamcast best of game thats on the 360, they picked 4 pretty shit games IMO but more annoyingly they put 2 big titles (crazy taxi and sonic) with 2 gash titles (space channel 5 and fishing) doesnt bode well, why didnt they just stick shenmue, soul calibur, jet grind radio, skies of arcadia on a disc and charge £30 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The task of being a project leader. It's like managing a bunch of **** kids. not being a project leader or any thing like that but... raising a few issues at work about how things could be improved and then your manager saying right then organise 2 work place work outs in 2 different offices and create a scoping tool find a way to incorporate the five why's and dont forget the include the spingoard technique...that is essential...but most of all remember you need to have a brainstorming session, they are imperritive to all work place work outs ok what the **** is a scoping tool what the **** is the ''springboard techique'' what the **** are the 5 whys why the **** do they expect you to get a load adults to stick a few post it notes on a wall and call it a brainstorm why me maybe I have answered my own question to the 5 whys I said to him ok then if you give me a few pointers and let me know pretty much how to get my way through this then no problem, he said 'nope you are on your own' bastards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I did explan to him that it is a completely pointless exorsise and that the WORK PLACE WORK OUT would not benefit from it at all etc etc but apparently he is actually targeted on how many WORK PLACE WORK OUTS his staff go on and how many of the 'recomended' techiques are used during these WORK PLACE WORK OUTS or some **** bollocks like that by the way sorry about my spelling I have had had a few cans of K and a can of special brew (I dont know why but I have gone for strength over quality tonight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
