OT: grammar website similar to dictionary.com?
I remember seeing a site that allowed you to type a phrase and it would let you know if there was an errors in grammar (cause I don't know how to spell grammerical errors).
Anybody know of this site? Thanks

Thanks K; but there doesn't seem to be anything on that site to help me.
I could be missing it or something.

Double dola, rock n rolla...
Ok, I am not finding what I need on that site. Here is the debate: Text messaging on a cell phone- what is the proper way to say it in past tense? I text you yesterday. Did you get it? I texted you yesterday. Did you get it? I text'd you yesterday. Did you get it? Any other suggestions?

So, using just the word text is not proper? I guess that makes sense.
Thanks

"text" is not a verb (yet), so there is no past tense. |

i'd go with " I texted you yesterday. Did you get it?"
although that's surely not 100% grammatically correct, it goes along the lines of the whole 'texting' concept. |

That makes perfect sense. So my friends that say texted are either stupid sounding or ahead of their time.

Text is an irregular verb, it is:
"Today I text." "Yesterday I toxt." "Tomorrow I will tixt." |

I'm not sure whether to be impressed or scared that there's this much discussion about one verb in a medium that really doesn't care two whits about grammar. That said, I love RA's post  SI
