Oh, for the love of Pete. I just read that millennials and Gen Zers believe you shouldn’t reply to a text or email with “OK” unless you’re trying to snub the reader in some way. The proper thing to write is “kk.” What? I know about the “OK boomer” thing, but I thought the dismissiveness was specific to that phrase. Here’s how Caity Weaver explains it in the New York Times’ “Work Friend” column: “You reply to an email with ‘OK’: For the briefest twinkling, I think ‘Rude.’ You reply to an email with ‘K’: For one terrible millisecond, I think … ‘He’s acting like he’s the only one who’s stressed out!’ You reply to an email with ‘kk’: I think ‘OK.’” I’ll run that by you again: If she reads “kk,” she thinks “OK.” But if she reads “OK,” she doesn’t think “OK.” To be fair, Weaver is simply explaining the line of thinking. She makes clear that this is a bigger deal to others than it is to her. But she does add that if she writes “OK” in a text or email, she usually adds an exclamation point to convey that she’s not annoyed or angry. That’s what an exclamation point conveys? My baby boomer head is hurting. All of this was in response to a reader’s lament to Weaver about “kk.” The Gen X reader had been told by millennial and Gen Z co-workers that to write “OK” is “to be passive-aggressive or imply that I would like the recipient to drop dead.” Well, OK, then.
