Saying "good morning" or "good evening" or whatever is a salutation. It's not conveying any real information, it's just ritual politeness. I'm not a big fan of ritual politeness. But, if you're going to do it, don't half-ass it. To me, it's impolite and insincere to half-ass or abbreviate a greeting. I feel the same way about "GG" and "TX" for thanks. Do it right, or don't do it at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) ah, but ggez is classic! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago "ggez" is fine because you're taunting, it's meant to be rude. If you're trying to be polite but say "gg" it reads about the same, that you don't care enough to actually type out a few extra characters. permalink fedilink source parent
