    Sure, in informal situations currently it’s fine. It may change in the future depending on how common its usage becomes. Nite is a good example of informal English becoming so normalized that is formally acceptable.

    For what it’s worth though the examples I was thinking of are more like trademarks. Drive-thru and tuff-stuff (cleaner brand) were the first to come to my mind.
