To think a one word text reply is fine?

[MiaMarshmallows]

That just saying 'Thanks' is not rude.

Yep

Correct.

👍

Indeed

Context

Sure

Ok

Depends on what you’re replying to, but generally okay I think

My Mum took a while to understand how to type on her phone so would only ever reply yes, no or thanks, so I learned never to text her if I needed more than a one word answer 😂

Yep

Yes

Oh sorry, I rather spoiled the flow of the thread there didn’t I!

Depends what you're replying to

"Your father and I have decided to gift you £100,000 for a house deposit."
"Thanks" - rude

"The key is under the plant pot"
"Thanks" - probably ok!

Context.

Depends

If you've been given a new car and diamond necklace, and that was the only response it would be rude.

If you've had a text to say your spouse has picked up the dry cleaning, not rude.

Context is everything.

Sure

I always add a 😊 just to be sure they know it’s not rude. Context is everything.

Agree, context is important.

I do think one word texts read a bit rude though.

Less is more

'Thanks ' is a perfectly fine response

Context is important but it's hard to see how it would be considered rude

👍

Could be construed as passive aggressive to me

Well...

Virtually anything i text to my 28yr old daughter, she replies with Ok xxx! Its become a bit of a joke between my DH and i now to guess her message before we open it. We are right 9 times out of 10 and its fine, doesnt bother me at all.

I would always add an exclamation mark

Mine's the same:

Mum is typing
Mum is typing
Mum is typing... (goes on for half an hour)

OK
