Omitting articles
Is it OK to omit articles when texting? As in:
A: Is that a girl or a boy?
B: Girl.
A: What do you think?
B: Same.
I've seen that one of the volunteers on here used 'same' in one of his posts.

whatchadoinadoin,
I personally think texting is a technological disease on a global level. Not only does it mentally and psychologically and yet, silently control your life, it actually creates a generation of people who can't spell nor write. As far as your question is concerned, texting has no grammar to speak of as long as the other side is engaged in a texting exchange with you, without an

Hi
I don't know. = Don't know.
It seems. = Seems. I don't think I say this. I might say 'seems like'.or 'seems to'
I don't care. = Don't care.
We often use these abbreviations, don't we? Even when speaking...
Yes. These are not really related just to texting.
