Why does a text message amount to contract acceptance? Even if there wasn't a misunderstanding, I wouldn't believe this to be true if you had asked me yesterday.

If I text someone "sell me your tv for $1" and he replies "ok" can I sue him if he doesn't?

Contracts are a meeting of minds with consideration for some benefit. I don't see why that can't be accomplished verbally, on WhatsApp, or on 500 sheets of foolscap, tbh.
