I suggest saying "Roger" when texting or using emails

[raccoon]

When you don’t have anything to add, but want the other person to know you got the message.

Or is the emoji for ok 👌 already serving that purpose?

[underpants]

1. 👌

Roger that

[Midnightwalk]

2. Roger

Nothing to add.

What's the vector, Victor?


Ah, the classics!

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

5. OK

[mercuryblues]

6. I just type the letter k

sometimes ok. It is easier to do that than search for the emoji.

[dewsgirl]

9. I do this often.

[dumbcat]

26. Me too.

7. msg ack

[nuxvomica]

8. I type "copy that"

Y'know, like I'm Jack Bauer.

[Recursion]

21. Strictly, you are supposed to say "copy" if you're making a transcript

and "roger" if you've simply received the message without writing it down.

11. Uggh... Half the time I can't make out what the ten zillion emojis or emoticons are...

especially when they appear on cell phones. I can read the text just fine, thank you very much, so it isn't my vision that makes them hard to decipher.

At the risk of sounding like a cranky Mr. Wilson, express yourselves with your damned words! Surely the laziest among us can do at least THAT!

12. Where did a okay come from?

The term appears to have achieved national prominence in 1840, when supporters of the Democratic political party claimed during the 1840 United States presidential election that it stood for "Old Kinderhook", a nickname for the Democratic president and candidate for reelection, Martin Van Buren, a native of Kinderhook, ...

13. I'll often "Roger that" or "Copy that" as an email response

Not always, but sometimes.

[WheelWalker]

28. Roger that.

[2naSalit]

14. Response for that...

"K".

[sl8]

15. Sorry, we don't have a "Roger", sir. How about "Roderick"?

[sl8]

16. Because who couldn't use a good rogering? n/t

[nykym]

17. Surprised no one said

Roger Wilco over and out!

[sl8]

18. "Roger Ramjet" would be more alliterative, AND it already has a catchy song.

[Sherman A1]

19. Over and

Out.......

[Recursion]

20. Negative! You are *EITHER* over *OR* out

This one drives me crazy.

If I expect a response from you I'll say "Sherman A1, this is Recursion, over"

If I don't expect a response from you I'll say, "Sherman A1, Recursion out"

You are either over or out, you aren't both.

22. I hate it when people say "k." I don't know why.

[sl8]

23. ¿ Qué ?

[gratuitous]

25. NO!

Just quit sending "thank you" emails. Unless you get a bounce message because it was undeliverable, just assume everyone gets their emails. Quit with the "thank you" or "roger" or "okay" or "copy that."

When I am installed as Dictator for Life by unanimous acclamation of humanity, those e-mails will subject the sender to the death penalty, which will be administered right swiftly. I could be installed on that plank alone, but I have other programs, at least one having to do with ads and unsolicited phone calls sent to cell phones. Punishments for offenders and carriers who don't block the offenders will be tough but fair. And in certain particularly egregious cases, public.
