| Does The Use Of 'k' In Convos Really Signify Lack Of Interest? by Teejayfamo: 8:36pm On Nov 21, 2017 |
I've actually got a friend making research to confirm if the use of 'k' in convos truly signifies lack of interest in the convo. She strongly believes the use of 'k's is viewed as offensive irrespective of the gender of the user. I shared my views that the current trend of complaints on use of 'k' is from girls who feel that the precious attention they give should get a better than a 'k'(I sure know my views were biased    ). For me, I see no reason why a person that uses short forms like 'lol','btw','tho' should complain about the use of 'k' since it saves typing time (laziness factor) .I'd love to know your thoughts on this. 2 Likes |

'K' signifies disrespect, immaturity, childishness and low intellectual capacity. In truth, some guys may be boring and the best way to kill their morale is to respond with 'K' till he gets the message. However, some girls can be so dumb. They would say Hi everyday first and expect you to carry on the conversation. All they do is reply in monosyllabic and the ever-annoying 'K'. I've made it a personal vendetta never to message anyone (boy or girl) who replies me with 'K' more than 3 times. 100 Likes 7 Shares |

Some peeps actually overreact. I see no reason why someone I'm replying very fast and with a lotta text should complain specifically about my use of 'k' even when it is evident that I'm very interested in the convo. Is it that the person is too big to get a 'k' or what?  Case becomes worse when the person types 'tho'  7 Likes 1 Share |

Smartini:You're even waiting for three times? I don't even chat with people who use shorthand. Like I always tell such people, if I'm going to type the normal way for you, that gesture should be reciprocated. And for those who chat shorthand, such as; k, u, sumtin, e.t.c.. I hope the time they would've used to type correctly, made a change in their lives. 62 Likes 3 Shares |

makydebbie:Ever had those kinda long messages that made it seem as if you had all the time in the world just because you had every word in full text? Most peeps see that as a turnoff as well. + peeps shouldn't actually owe you anything for typing in the manner you feel is most comfortable. + The time saved from typing 'k' could be used to engage others in meaningful convos.9 Likes 1 Share |

Teejayfamo: No, I'm actually turned on with it, I'm highly sapiosexual and shorthand kills everything. I'm not just comfortable with it. Lool, excuses for shorthand, a very lame one at that. K is a turnoff, and it sends the message that "I'm not interested in this conversation". If we've having a nice chat and you tell me k, you think one will feel the need to continue? 4 Likes |

The use of "K" in a conversation doesn't necessarily mean lack of interest. "K" is short form of "Okay" which simply means; I agree to what you said, and which may be preceded with other words as the conversation proceeds. But in a situation you perceive lack of interest to be the case then I assume the person isn't interested in having a conversation which could be due to some reasons beyond your knowledge. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Lol saves typing time and is considered laziness? Would you rather type Laughing Out Loud instead, huh grandpa? At the topic, replying with "K"...for some inexplicable reason, is just plain rude.. 12 Likes 1 Share |

It depends on what led to the OK. "k" can be used as a sign of agreement to something during chat. 1 Like |

Well its not actually about replying with "K" its know how and when to use it, when you text someone and you are expecting a reasonable reply or a contribution to the chat and the person reply with "K" just cut the chat they are not interested in you or the chat. 11 Likes |

Lool, some of my friends do this. i just figure they having swings or not in the mood, funny enuff. they chat you up first and start the monosyllabics crap.

Smartini:Hmm For a girl to reply you with all this one line and not up to 10 words, means she's not interested.. But let's not blame the female folks alone, some guys are capable of doing this and again if you ain't in the mood to chat it's better you say it or just ignore the message. 1 Like |
