text help: I dislike ‘OK’ being used in a text message - Help.com

OK - that is the obvious and cory reply out of the way.

i hate that! what i hate even more is when they just say k.

if someone puts ok & then follows with a smile thats fine
however ok wv an exclamation mark,is a different matter altogether,k;D* thats just for you spizzy ;D

Although what dsfh says may hold true for most people, it doesn’t hold true for myself and other people I talk to. If all people do is say ‘kay’, then it’s more the person than texting. I know someone like that, I’ll give a long speech, or ask a grand question or something and all they’ll say is ‘oh’ or ‘idk’ or ‘okay’ (and this is over instant messaging, not texting), and it’s quite obvious he doesn’t want to talk even though he started the conversation.

So maybe it’s just the people who you’re talking to. Maybe they just don’t care. shrug.

It’s hard to gather a persons emotional state via txt or email. The body language, tonality and other forms of sub communication that make up about 70% of human communication are lost. Txts are even shorter and more difficult to type than email. I like emoticons:D

ya i know what you mean, if someone has to reply with ‘ok’ why not added with an emotion like ok :D or ‘ya fine :)’ ok alone seems like im not that interested in what i’ve read previously from you ..
