pet peeve number i-don't-know
I hate this word. Yes, I call it a word, and not a letter. That's because I get such replies from people on SMS or when you're chatting with them online. You ask them or tell them something, they give this cold answer. For example:
Me: Hey, remember to blalablablablablablabla
Person: k
Short and so NOT sweet.
Blunt. Curt. Rude. Perfunctory. Heartless.
C'mon, not like it drains half of your finger energy to add in "O" in front of your "K". Seriously, it gives me the false impression that you either hate me, or you just don't want to talk to me.
Well, I have to admit, I do give such replies, but ONLY when I am angry with the person I'm talking to.
I remember quite awhile ago, I read an article on Life regarding this issue. The writer herself shares this pet peeve with me, and she states how insincere these replies can be.
When talking to such people, I find myself having to make the effort to twist my sentences in a way which would avoid such brusque response. Not only are they total mood spoilers, they make me not want to talk further.

and can it be
Hallelujah, What A Saviour
Philip Bliss 1875
"Man of Sorrows," what a name,
For the Son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Guilty, vile and helpless, we:
Spotless Lamb of God was He:
"Full atonement!" can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished!” was His cry;
Now in Heav’n exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
