From: Colette Meiji thats this
o.0 Nah, ACK is "acknowledge", short for "I read and understood what you wrote and have nothing of substance to say here." When ^^ gets used as a response to things like "we'll have to go out next week instead, there was a death in the family", it's definitely lost any historical meaning it may have had. |
