That's what bugs me about that one.

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.

"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.
