 Re: Are there rules for "ed" pronunciation?
Sorry for bumping such an old thread but I had to ask this question:
My mom teaches English and we recently had an argument that I thought could be settled on here.
First, she claims that the word "text" cannot be used as a verb. Whether it is or not is a discussion for another time. Now, let's say that we can use text as a verb which would mean to send a text message to someone. How would the past tense of the word be spelled and pronounced?
I claim it would be spelled "texted" and pronounced with "ed" as id.
Se says it would still be spelled "texted" but pronounced as if it was spelled "text"
I think she's off her rocker.
What are your thoughts? |
