G'nite

I can remember that when I was younger, I always wanted a "cool" way to sign off of a chat.  I tried different phrases from different cartoons.  There was one cartoon that I watched where the phrase used was "Later days."  I tried that for a little while.  I also tried "Laters" for a few days.  Neither stuck.

I stopped trying and just went with whatever I would end up typing.

I don't know exactly when it happened, but I found that when I would chat at night or early into the mornings, that if the chat was a pleasant one with a friend, I started typing "G'nite" at the end.

I know what makes it this way personally for me.  Sure, it is "good night," but I've found that even when I have said "Good night," out loud that I tend to almost swallow the "ood" of "good," so it is more just the hard G sound followed by the word "night."

I started typing it the way it sounded when I said it.  That would be "g'night," but "nite" if often accepted in chat, and it is quicker when you are tired, so I went with "g'nite."

However, it is not night right now, so I guess I should tell everybody "g'morning!"
