Ok. Three characters to passively aggressively express how pissed off you are.

  "Ok" is probably one of the best examples for how subtle changes in punctuation and spelling can convey extremely different sentiments with the same word. Language is at least as much about subtext as text, yet we only ever formally learn to pay attention to the latter outside fairly specific university level courses.

        Still not as passive aggressive a response as a single thumbs up emoji

          The fact that MS Teams includes this as one of the only 5 reactions you can send to a message is... frustrating. It isn't the only issue with Teams by far but, please, MS, Discord already did it right.

          Wait, what makes that passive aggressive?
          • iamacyborg 5y ago
            Dunno, just comes across as a sarcastic response to me. This is probably just a me problem though.

              Probably. I use that as a simple acknowledgment, because there's also those people who think "left on read" is an insult too.

                Basically, communication is hard.

  Anything is better than "..", people have been using this shit for over a decade and it doesn't mean anything, yet it's everywhere.

    I dunno, I think it does convey tone in a message; a) I guess... b) Right... c) They actually want me to present this ... Similar but subtly different I think
