This is a very odd question, but is it common to write "enugh" instead of "enough" when chatting?

Question

I know there are thought to be no rules when it comes to chatting, but even then there is a matter of what style of writing and chatting is more common. Again, it's a weird question I know. Thanks

I've seen enuf.  There are other uses of this spelling but https://www.urbandictionary.com/Define.php?term=enuf agrees that it used as another version of enough.

My tech (which always thinks it's smarter than I--little resistentialism anyone?) suggests enuff.

I'm with @DianaBarton. If you're going to abbreviate and colloquialize 'enough', just dropping an O seems silly.

As an example, consider the book and play from the 1970s:

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf
