When I use it, I mean ok, because that’s what it actually means. It’s simply a way to acknowledge someone was heard. I will not be changing bc others read more into it. Tis way too exhausting to consider every hidden meaning someone might have.

    Right? I've been using it to mean, "acknowledged", for years now. My kids told me just the other day that their group does not, and that they have to remind themselves I'm not being sarcastic when I send it. I have reached "that" age, it would appear.

  • I reckon context is important here. If someone is chewing you out and you give a thumbs up it could be passive aggressive. But yeah in a business context I use it pretty frequently to acknowledge the message without needing to add to the conversation.
