Q. Does it make a difference (when twitting sefira, see prior question) if the twitter contains only numbers for the day to be counted (eg: today is day 36 = 5 weeks and 1 day Laomer. No words were used for the numbers?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that since using digits is a normal way of counting, it would be the same as writing the count with letters. (See answer # 785 above) However, he would have to write “today is day so and so”, or “it is x days to the omer.” The writing has to appear on the screen of his phone and not be encrypted or just be sent.
