Words without meaning

Listening to conversations, I am fascinated with the development of our language. I hear a new word being used which is "texted". In reality, text is a noun. Trying to make it a verb is an interesting experiment, but the reality is "I did text him" is correct whereas, "I texted him" isn't. Nevertheless, "texted" seems to be growing in popularity even if it isn't correct.
Another one that is different is the word "conversate". There is no word "conversate" in the dictionary, but as much as I hear it being used, it will probably be there in a few years.
The word "prioritize" didn't exist until the political campaign of 1979, and now it is part of life. So I guess I need to prioritize my texted information so I can conversate properly. No wonder the Brittish say we dont speak English, we speak American. Just say'n

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
