Is there any kind of txtng/shorthand notation for saying
"I acknowledge that you sent me something, but I don't really give a shit" other than simply "Ok"? }(

Two letters or less, please, though a single symbol would work, too. I want to use it for work-related email replies (someone that's checking my work and doesn't understand the concept of "redlining".)

4. Yeah, I'd do that only if I was quitting my job anyway, which I'm not.
:P

5. "FO"? Not quite as strong.

6. She'd probably just think I misspelled "of"
We really need to teach this girl how to redline. She has no clue. Then again, she's our group lead and has no drafting background. I blame upper management. Maybe I need to send the FO to them }(

9. Then send a followup apology text with "I've got multiple social diseases. Hope you don't mind."

11. I think Outlook converts three periods into an ellipsis
so it's now one symbol anyway. I might give that one a try, too, see what happens :)
