I don't think new verbs are allowed to be irregular. Irregularity is only for old, popular verbs!

Irregularity is only for old, popular verbs!We do tend to regularise new verbs but there's no reason why a new verb shouldn't be irregular - "allowed" doesn't come into it. We're not French!d.
Sting, stungRing, rung, rangStang? Isn't is a great and greatly inconsistent language we have?
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
Heard just now on 'Nothing to Declare UK'"Now we need to get him downstairs and custodised" (which, apart from sounding ridiculous, I heard as custardized )*shivers*
Maybe it's because "text" already sounds like a past tense word, like taxed, boxed, cast etc.
that's not science, it's semantics.

"Will soundcloud you later tonight..."I know we have mentioned Google before, as in, "I will google it later tonight," but to turn every proper noun into a verb makes me cringe, as does using an ellipsis instead of a full stop.
And I don't mind terminating ellipsises (sp?) in 'casual' usage - they're much better than endless mid-paragraph ones!
1 is ok!(and I've just realised that 'cloud' is a perfectly good verb, so why not SoundCloud?!?)
