Morse Code CW abbreviation:

-.- (K) means "Invitation to transmit, as your turn at the (K)ey"

._. (R) means "(R)eceived"


.- .-. ... -.- (AR SK) {End of message, (S)ilent (K)ey}

In texting, my very young teenage granddaughter uses 'K' as shorthand for "Okay", which is often a misrepresentation of "I may have to accept what you sent, but I don't agree with what you said."

If spoken, she would utter it as a long drawn out vowel sound for the 'O,' and 'K' in Okay ... possibly due to doppler shifting as she trundles away, in fashionable ignorance of those her elder, while eagerly hoping to bump into a junk food stash along her exit route. -Bless her-
