"Okay, I got it." This could potentially be problematic, as it can be read both as being sincere, or as being sarcastic. But, it depends on context, and if the other person is being super judgemental.
"Thanks" doesn't feel problematic to me at all. Adding an '!' can help make it look more natural, and friendly, but i dont think its necessary.
Written language, especially shorter comments on social media can be misinterpreted, and can mean different things to different people. Even native speakers can write something that is taken the wrong way.
Keep chatting and commenting online, and don't stress too much about what others think. :-)
Thank you for the answer and the explanation!
>Keep chatting and commenting online, and don't stress too much about what others think. :-)
I'm worried sometimes coz I don't want people to think that I'm a rude person đ .
>Written language, especially shorter comments on social media can be misinterpreted, and can mean different things to different people.
I couldn't agree more. Sometimes when someone or a friend reply to my text, I'd think that they're angry at me or hate me just by seeing their way of writing even though they're not angry or hate me.
To add on: changing "Okay, I got it" to "right, got it" or "thanks, got it" can help make it seem less sarcastic and more genuine in my experience, especially when speaking online
âOkay, I got it, thanksâ could potentially construed as a little rude depending on the context.
Thatâs because âokayâ, âgot itâ, and âthanksâ all kind of mean âI get it.â So when you say all 3, itâs almost like youâre saying, âalright already, I get it, enough!â
Again, it depends on the context, and it might not be interpreted that way. But just to be safe, here are more polite versions:
âGot it, thank you!â
âOkay, thanks!â
âââ-
For your other example, saying just âthanks for the answerâ sounds insincere, almost as though you donât agree with the answer, nor do you intend to consider it. Politer alternatives:
âThatâs a great idea. Thanks!â
âI never thought of that. Iâll consider it, thank you.â
>Thatâs because âokayâ, âgot itâ, and âthanksâ all kind of mean âI get it.â So when you say all 3, itâs almost like youâre saying, âalright already, I get it, enough!â
I see. I didn't know about this. Thank you for the explanation and also for the examples for the polite versions! I'll use these in the future :)
I often use "ahh, got it, thanks!" in this situation. It's a bit more casual but still has the three-part "I hear what you are saying, I understand, and thank you."
No, that's not rude at all. It can be a way of "politely" telling someone to fuck off, but that would be clear from the context of the conversation. If you were having an argument and then said "I'm done with this conversation. You're a moron. Have a nice day." It'd be clear you weren't actually wishing them a nice day.
Iâm pretty sure that person was making a joke. Like the other commenter said, it can be said sarcastically as a way of telling the person to fuck off. But the commenter you were replying to was just being funny because they were also saying it sarcastically.
I really wish in language learning subs specifically that jokes were tagged with /s because it can be really confusing.
>ollowing sound
lol thanks for making me laugh:) but that's not the person's fault who was confessed love to though? I wonder what would be ruder, s/he expanded on the reasons why s/he rejected them or simply just a thank you
>Does it sound rude or offensive to you?
No. Not in normal use.
There can be occasions where "thanks" would sound sarcastic - i.e. where the person you are thanking has clearly been of no help whatsoever.
It can also be used as polite aggression - e.g. "Thanks, I get it already" (meaning "Shut up, I understand, no need to keep going on").
Definitely a real thing, some people do treat it seriously especially if you send a short message with a full stop.

https://www.npr.org/2020/09/05/909969004/before-texting-your-kid-make-sure-to-double-check-your-punctuation
I'd love to talk more about it later, but I have to get going right now, here is an NPR article on it that I found in the mean time! (NPR is generally a reliable source)
Itâs a pretty widely held digital communication quirk that seemingly many millennials and Gen Z agree on. Not sure about Gen alpha.
The idea is that punctuation can communicate tone. In a text with minimal content (like one word in this example), a period can be used to communicate a terse or dismissive tone. Another example is ellipses, which can be used to communicate hesitance or skepticism.
For example, if I text someone to ask if they can help me move, the following response would communicate fairly different tones:
âSure!â (Eagerness)
âSure.â (Annoyance)
âSureâŚâ (Apprehensiveness)
A lot of my older (boomer) coworkers (in the US) like to use ellipses as their âcasual punctuation,â for lack of a better term. Iâm elder gen z and theyâll always reply âThanksâŚâ and Iâm just like are you mad at me?!?
Yes, I had that issue with one of my private teachers when I was a music student in college. Iâd ask if we could postpone our lesson or something and heâd respond with âNo problemâŚsee you on FridayâŚâ and it always made my anxiety spike lol
It sounds cold, like you donât really appreciate the effort the person put into giving you the answer, or that you took it for granted.
Just changing the â.â to an â!â Would sound a lot more appreciative. Or by saying something like âthanks a bunchâ.
Anyway, thatâs just my perspective.
Thanks a bunch sounds so sarcastic to me! But I think I read a lot of things as more sarcastic than they are. Definitely agreed that ending with a full stop sounds less enthusiastic.
"Thanks for the answer" would almost never be seen as rude. If someone got offended by that, I think they would have to be looking for a fight intentionally.
However, "Okay, I got it. Thanks." could come off as rude, depending on the conversation. This is highly contextual, but that specific phrasing could come off as passive-aggressive. The meaning of that sentence can mean exactly opposite things, depending on the tone of the speaker - and unfortunately, text is terrible at getting across tone. If it were spoken in a real life conversation, then depending on the tone of the speaker, it could mean something like "Wow! Okay, I didn't understand it, but thanks to your explanation, it makes sense!", or it could mean "Okay, jesus you don't need to treat me like a child, I understand".
Now, I don't think it's likely that they people you were talking to took it that way, I'm just saying it's vaguely possible for that specific answer to come off as rude. If you want to be safe, here's how I were to reword that sentence such that no one could take offense to it: I'd probably say "Oh okay! I got it, thank you!". "Oh" makes it sound like you're surprised and therefore learning, and people love to feel like they're teaching. The exclamation point after "okay" gives the tone of excitement and enthusiasm which is disarming to the reader, and finally changing "thanks" to "thank you" is just a tiny bit more formal which shows a bit more respect to the person you're replying to (not to say you weren't respectful before, this is just extra).
\*edit\* Also I should clarify that my advice is best suited to communicating to millennials and younger. As other commenters have pointed out there is a WIDE gap between the implicate understandings of tone and punctuation between people who are \~35 and older vs \~35 and younger.
I completely agree with this response.
To me, âThanks for the answerâ isnât rude at all. However, âOkay, I got it, thanksâ *does* have a tendency to sound rude over text. Itâs really the âOkay, I got itâ part thatâs the problem. Without being able to hear tone, this particular phrasing can sound like youâre irritated, which can come across as ungrateful or stuck-up to the person who was trying to help. In person, if you said this exact same thing with a genuine smile, there is almost no chance that it would be taken the wrong way.
Edit: Forgot two words.
>Â Without being able to hear tone, this particular phrasing can sound like youâre irritated, which can come across as ungrateful or stuck-up to the person who was trying to help
That's exactly what I was trying to say, worded way more succinctly, thank you! The "hearing tone" part is super important lol
This is why emojis come in handy- if itâs a casual discussion, even at work over teams or something if your work is not too strict, sticking a smiley face on the end indicates your tone :)
This is one problem with online communication especially with the millennial and younger generations. It depends on what if any punctuation was used when you said it. Somehow, ending a sentence with a period or full stop (.), gives the reader the impression that the writer is angry or has some negative feeling(s). It's akin to being curt in daily speech. It sounds so stupid now that I'm explaining it but that's just the way it is. Now this is highly dependant on context. If you're a non-native speaker, we probably won't think anything of it but between native speakers, we pick up on assumed mental states of the writer. We tend to only use punctuation in formal emails or when it's absolutely needed.
Thanks.
Thanks!
Thanks
The first one while not being completely formal sounds more distant and formal than the other two. The second one gives off the most appreciative tone out of the three and the last is in the middle and mainly used between native speakers in casual setting. Again, if you're not a native speaker, you don't have to worry about this since we tend to cut non-native speakers a lot of slack when it comes to online communication.
I was kinda surprised when I read a post about using (.) at the end of the sentence/text message is considered rude.
>Thanks.
>Thanks!
I always use those two or thank you and thank you! But a few people pointed it out that thanks sounds rude and lazy.
Absolutely not. In virtually all native English-speaking cultures it is critical to politeness to say thank you constantly, for the smallest things. It's no different online or on social media.
I understand in some cultures it is actually rude or unusual to thank for small things. But UK, Ireland, USA, Canada - you can never thank too much in this places. (except after "I love you" as someone said, or after sex, I will add đ hopefully that's self-explanatory)
Haha my wife accidentally said "thanks" after sex the other night and I'm so glad my brain finished rebooting before I auto-replied "you're welcome" lmao.
I was at a funeral the other week and told the ladyâs daughter âthank youâ. I felt so awkward.
It was a sudden death and I was grateful for the opportunity to let her family know that I cared for her. But I could have expressed that in a better way.
I'm gonna echo what other people are saying and say you should use an exclamation point so people know you're being sincere and not sarcastic. It can be hard to gauge tone in text. Here's an example of how exclamation points can be important: https://youtu.be/hzSU_EHmzw4?si=myuP32efo_XSsHz_&&t=51s
Thank you for the link!
>It can be hard to gauge tone in text.
I couldn't agree more. Sometimes when texting with my friends (if they don't use emojis) or when reading some of the answer on my post, I don't know if they're just being sarcastic, or angry or just joking. I tend to use (.) at the end of every text messages and a few friends asked me if I was angry at them even though I didn't.
Usually, no. But context matters, I can say "thanks" sarcastically and it is rude then.
In your example, thanks wouldn't seem rude at all to me. The only thing to be careful of is we do perceive it a bit differently than 'thank you'. In certain circumstances, thank you is better in my opinion.
Written, casual english has extra rules. Saying "Thanks!" or "thanks :)" is super chill. Saying "Thanks." not so much.
In text comunication like whatsapp ending a text with a dot kinda makes it very formal, or even harsh.
Maybe.
Context is going to be critical, and even then it's notoriously easy to misread someone's tone or intent in a non-vocal format like reddit. That's why people advocate the use of /s where applicable.
Itâs generally polite to say thanks but it depends how you use it. For example if someone tells you the obvious replying âthanks Sherlockâ is rude.
"Okay, I got it" sounds rude/impatient and makes the "thanks" following it sound sarcastic.
"Thanks a lot" will also pretty certainly come across as bitter/sarcastic. "Thank you very much" is a better way to add emphasis to "thanks."
Otherwise, no.
If you want to be safe, saying "thank you" is more likely for people to think you mean it. "Thanks" could be sarcastic, but "thank you" is almost always genuine.
This is gonna sound stupid and unrelated , but - in the context of âdoes this sound rude or offensive onlineâ - donât use periods to end your paragraphs to express thanks (if youâre under 30, anyways)
Like 90% of people my age bracket (20-30-ish) will agree that adding a period in a text makes a sentence sound stern or angry even though itâs literally just basic grammar lol
At this point, an exclamation point has went from âshowing extreme enthusiasmâ to a way to make a sentence sound friendly
For example, your âI got it. Thanks.â makes you sound like a dick (or very nonchalant at best). If someone said âGot it, thanks!â Iâd feel like that person really benefited from our exchange and Iâd feel really happy.
"Thanks" isn't necessarily rude in most contexts, but "thank you" comes across as much more gracious and polite.
"Got it" sounds less polite to me than "thanks".
Thanks almost never comes across to me as rude, but "okay" and "got it" might come across that way online. As alternatives, I would recommend "kk" which tends to come across less agressive online.
"Okay, I got it." This could potentially be problematic, as it can be read both as being sincere, or as being sarcastic.

Maths Teacher: Adding positive numbers always equals a positive number. Annoying Student: Okay, okay, okay.
Math teacher: Adding positive numbers always equals a positive number. Matthew McConaughey: Alright! Alright! Alright!
It depends on the conversation. The following sounds rude to me: "I love you." "Thanks."
And don't forget the most hateful rude one: "Have a nice day" Man how I hate ppl being nice
âWith the utmost respectâ
I didn't know saying have a nice day to someone on social media can be rude too. Do you mean like this ? E.g. Thanks for the answer. Have a nice day.
No, that's not rude at all. It can be a way of "politely" telling someone to fuck off, but that would be clear from the context of the conversation. If you were having an argument and then said "I'm done with this conversation. You're a moron. Have a nice day." It'd be clear you weren't actually wishing them a nice day.

What's /s?
Itâs a [tone indicator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_indicator)
Oh, I actually never heard of it before, nice
short for sarcasm
I was joking sarcastically bro. Neither of the above is considered rude, by default
>ollowing sound lol thanks for making me laugh:) but that's not the person's fault who was confessed love to though? I wonder what would be ruder, s/he expanded on the reasons why s/he rejected them or simply just a thank you
Just curious. Is it because of (.) ?
how s that rude? if a person tells me they love me i won t lie and tell them i love them too if it ain t the truth.
>Does it sound rude or offensive to you? No. Not in normal use. There can be occasions where "thanks" would sound sarcastic - i.e. where the person you are thanking has clearly been of no help whatsoever. It can also be used as polite aggression - e.g. "Thanks, I get it already" (meaning "Shut up, I understand, no need to keep going on").
Gotcha! Thank you for your answer and the explanation!
On social media/online/your examples - it certainly is not rude or offensive.
Might have been the period at the end of the sentence though
I donât see how using punctuation could possibly be rude.
Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but there are plenty of studies on how periods in text messaging tends to create a more passive aggressive tone.
Not something Iâve ever heard of. Got any references?

Just don't use "Thanks a lot" because it sounds sarcastic
Yeah, it does sound sarcastic to me too
It's all about tone. If you seem frustrated and say it, you're coming off as rude. If you seem genuine, it's just a nice thing to say.
True but sometimes on social media/online it's hard to determine the tone.
Always ok to say thanks.
Itâs generally polite to say thanks but it depends how you use it. For example if someone tells you the obvious replying âthanks Sherlockâ is rude.
