You know how "text" has become the de facto short form of "text message"? EVERY TIME I see it used in a sentence, I think "literary text." Which is what leads me to incidents like reading number six on this list, and spending several seconds wondering if Chris Pine is a fan of D.H. Lawrence or something.

Heh. That'd be pretty awesome if he was a D.H. Lawrence fan.

I like the last one myself. I'm pretty sure some guys would replace 'put each other down' with 'fart' and have a similar experience.

Oh, he is so pretty. Why does he have to be so dumb?

But yes, "text" works clearly as a verb, but as a noun referring to messaging... that's easily confusable. *coughfornerdscough*
