I really don't care what it signifies...Immediately I see it, I lose interest in the conversation.
The funny thing is, some people don't mean anything by it...It's just a short form of 'okay' to them.
That's their cup of tea.

Type 'okay'...You won't die!

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.
She actually sent a message first, if you noticed. The truth is very few people have the ability to start and sustain conversations online for a very long time. To some girls, they make it feel like its the man's 'duty' to be interesting. They add nothing to the conversation but they just want you to chat regularly with them. But you're right, its not only limited to the female folks alone.

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?






Don't mind that dude,until he goes for written interview and find himself unable to write in full without using shorthand,that's when he will know the witches in his father's house are not smiling at all.

Honestly, it'll become part of you and you're going to have difficulties with your spellings as time goes on.

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 grin wink cheesy). 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.

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.
Answer the question directly and stop beating around the bush. By their comment we shall know them, awon 'K' kaycee

IT'S REALLY SAD, PLEASE READ WHAT HE WROTE ON HIS EXIT. ��

President Robert Mugabe appealing to black Zimbabwean citizens.....

You Will Appreciate Me More When I Am Gone
My fellow Zimbabweans, I am writing this letter and hope that all of you will read it and share it.
My days on this earth are numbered, But I know that once I am gone, You and your children will never forget about me.
I want you to understand that the reason I have stayed long in power, 36 years on, Is because I want to empower all of you my fellow black Zimbabweans, No other president in the entire continent of Africa has done what I have done for you, But you continue to take me for granted.
Do you know that in the whole of Africa, Zimbabweans are the only blacks who own their land? We are the only blacks who own and run means of production, We own our own companies and our own land, That is the true meaning of independence. Political and economic independence. I have fought tooth and nail my entire political life to ensure that all of you have both political and economic independence, I don’t hate white people, No, Not at all. What I hate is their thinking that they are better than us, That they can just come to our country and take our resources and our land, And tell us what to do, To that I say no, Today, I am happy that almost all the land is in black hands.
It's up to you to use the education I gave you to develop the land so it is productive so you can feed yourself, One thing I am proud of is that I worked hard to ensure our natural resources and our land was given back to its rightful OWNERS: You the black people of Zimbabwe.
Go to other countries in Africa, Right here just across Limpopo, In South Africa, Mandela sold out and gave all the land and economy to the whites, The blacks in South Africa will be slaves to white South Africans forever, As long as land is not in the hands of its rightful owners, The Africans, The black man will continue to suffer in his own land.
The real wealth is now in your hands, I wrestled it away from the white people who came to steal it from you, Yes, The world was angry at me and punished the whole country with sanctions, But I don’t care because I know I was doing the right thing, I was empowering my people, You should take care of the land and the industries I have given you.

I did my part, The ball is now in your court, Do your part, You will remember me and appreciate me for what I have done for you when I am gone....

Your president and leader of Africa for Africans!

Robert Gabriel Mugabe!!

It's very very annoying and this is mostly common when you're chatting with girls - lot of them. Some will even double the K.... Okk or even triple it. Nowadays, I don't take it annoying any longer cos I see ladies as weak gender. They can't reason like men

K is a letter.. Not a fvcking acronym or short form of okay. There is no way in the gadamn dictionary it was stated that K is a short form for okay.. And as such is silly to use it in conversations.

People who use "K" "KK" are either not interested in the convo or not that intelligent and they result in monosyllabic. I've studied this.

There's a girl that always chat me up first, she also ask questions alot but she make use of "K" most time(although she use "okay" sometimes), I usually always get annoyed but when I see she's always interested in chatting, I just ignore the "K" stuff, I assume/presume it's her habit.

In conclusion, like I said up there, people who use "K" are either not interested in the convo or not intelligent to type words correctly or compose sentences, in addition some are just being lazy or it's just a habit.
