'Texes' as plural of 'text (message)'

[Damien Hall]

Darla asked:

'Is that like the way one hears "breastes" in place of "breasts"?'

I've never heard that myself, but, if 'breastes' sounds like 'bresses', then yes, that's the same phenomenon.  Is 'bresses' for 'breasts' common - and with whom?  Any other examples?
