Nouns Can Become Verbs
E-Newsletter reader Clifford A. wrote:
My wife says she texted our daughter.
I say, I sent her a text message.
Is texted an accepted usage?
English allows many nouns to become verbs. We can table a motion, salt our food, and water our plants. Particularly in the realm of developing technology, new usages are common, and even nouns that never used to be verbs have taken on new roles. Text as a verb is accepted usage.
More Examples:
Children, please don’t horse around.
Have you ever googled your name to see what came up?
The race car snaked around the curves.
Xerox three copies of that letter before the meeting at noon.
Due to the E-Newsletter's large readership, we are unable to respond to individual English usage questions.

Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
