What courtesy response do you use most frequently to acknowledge a /tell, email, ICQ or other form of written message that includes a joke when you don't have enything else to say?

It's been said proposed that a "heh" response implies less interest than "hehe"

Does anyone else get annoyed by people that type ... after every message? It leaves the impression that they're on antidepressants or someting... like they expect something bad to happen... I understand typing ... when there is more to the story or it's an open ended response but if you ask a yes or no question, a response of "yes..." doesn't seem to be conclusive...

I use
"f u"

yes... seems like you want to say "whatever" but don't wanna hurt the persons feelings, at least that's how I read it (or write it sometimes )

"Hehe," but it's really a toss up between that and "har!"

I go hehe unless it's really funny and then toss out a haha.

^^ same as above.

if it actually makes me laugh I'll type "lol"
if it's just amusing then "hehe" or "haha" usually suffice
since I'm female I'll also throw in the occasional *giggle*

Usually just "heh"

Maybe I'm just not terribly interested afterall. I didn't even know it

...

Ok no really...

I use "heh" if I am just being polite but really just want them to stfu.

I use "hehe" if it is actually funny or cute or whatever.

/ignore

heh is its not that funny. if it actually makes me smile or laugh i'll give out a lol.

i can't stand hehe. it sounds too girly.

heh

Sirensa took my answer!!!

But I will add... if it actually makes me laugh so loud my stomach hurts, I will give them a 'hahahahahahahahahahaha'

Ugh. I hate when people do that. Although, it's nice to see you admitting that the use of "heh" is usually has negative implications. Whenever somebody answers me with that word in casual conversation, I ask what I did to annoy them, and 9 times out of 10, I'll get a response of "I'm not annoyed. That's how I laugh." Even though when they find something genuinely funny, they'll throw out "haha" or "lol."

Grr.

the worst thing, and i do this sometiems, is to just reply with 'k'

It depends on the joke. In ascending order of funny its; heh, hehe, lol, rofl, LOL!!!!.

I'll use 'heh' to be polite or if the joke was mildly funny. However, sometimes I accidently type 'heh' when I wanted to type 'hehe'.

k or kk is fine for acknowledging an informative /tell that's not a joke.

/tell Toshira I need you to train PD while I get CT into position for Trak

/tell Xanupox kk

I usually reply with LOL. Unless it's really really funny, then I reply with LMAO (which you don't have on your list).

Major omissions on the list were using smilies : ) as a response and LMAO.

'k' as in, someone just told me a huge long story and i ended it with 'k'

See, for me the ascending order is:

hehe, lol, haha, lmao, rofl and roflmao.

I refuse to use 'heh' or 'heheheh'. They both always feel like they're virtually contrived to me. I voted "hehe" since the topic was which one is used as a *courtesy* laugh. "Hehe" is the equivalent of a chuckle for me.
