A disclaimer on o-k

I'm normally an at-least-2-letters-answer person. Meaning, I'll avoid answering a person with just 1 letter. I don't answer 'k' or 'y' in sms or instant messaging. Unless, it's unavoidable, like if you're asked, 'what letter comes after j?'

If I have to answer with just one word, then it will be at least 'Ok' or 'Why?' But, if my answer involves a sentence, then, I might use single letters e.g. 'So y do u do that?'

Somehow for me, that's how I express that I care for what was said and that I am not just giving my half attention.

But no, I have no negative impression, or at least I hold them back, on people who DO answer with the single letters. Husnuzon. So no worries.

Lately however, the 'o' on my laptop keyboard, at the office - is a little bit faulty. It's seeking more attention from me - I have to strike it a little bit harder than other letters. Sometimes, I'd forget and it refuses to come out even though I've typed it. And you know.. I'm super-fast sometimes, I would have already hit the 'enter' key before realising the 'o' didn't come out in 'ok'.

So, if you're on YM with me, and you see me answer 'k' - please know that I am NOT being 'lazy' or nonchalant.
