Unless I'm asking a question, I'm not really looking for a response. I'm just communicating a quick message.

And for every one of you that's out there, there are about a dozen that will go all spastic if you don't respond.

Ugh, seriously. Why would you waste a text message on "Lol?" when someone said they were going to Subway? they cost money, people!

[Andara Bledin]

Most people probably never even think about the money factor since a lot of them are growing up in a world where they never had limits on their texting.

Before I got my current phone (which requires an unlimited data plan, as it's a fancy smartphone), I turned texting off specifically because I didn't want to ever have to deal with extra fees.

Personally, I find "ok" or "k" messages annoying. I usually only use texting for quick FYI messages that don't require a response, or to ask about something specific when I don't have time to call the recipient. I don't generally text just to chit chat. Unless I'm asking a question, I'm not really looking for a response. I'm just communicating a quick message.

If someone is communicating a quick message for me, I feel it's appropriate to indicate that I got the message by sending a one-word reply. That way, the sender knows I didn't miss it. It's, um... it's a big problem for me.

No point, just an illustration of differences.

I usually respond with K because if I don't I get three more messages asking me if I got the first one.
