Posted by Double MA text response of "k" or "ok" "yep" to a non-question is unecessary and a waste of our time.
We all know how texts work: I send you a text, it pops up on your cell phone, you see it.
Some texts have questions and require an answer ("Do you want me to come over?"). Others are simply a statement and require no response ("I'm grabbing a beer with Jimmy and Bunk."). In the latter case, I know you've seen my text (at least that is assumed), so telling me OK isn't necessary unless you feel like you need to give me permission. Sending me "k" is a waste of both of our time, even if it is only 10 seconds each (but at least it isn't a voicemail).
It isn't had to figure out: only send a text message if you have some actual value to add, acknowledgement texts aren't necessary

Too many people in my life (particularly coworkers where things are probably more time sensitive) walk away or forget their phones are on silent. In that case I do appreciate the acknowledgement.
I will also do 'kk' after debate about what we're doing tonight or when we're leaving. This is me saying "I'm going to put my phone down and get ready now because I think we've finally made a decision so you'll need to call if something changes"
