What does "J" mean in an email???

[Anonymous]

I always thought it meant "joke"

but have recently (today) seen it in 2 emails that were not humorous...

"please see if you can attend the meeting next wednesday. J

if you are available to attend, let Rosie know"

the author's name has no Js in it either

I think sometimes email programs turn smiley faces into Js.

Mistyped "k" that was sort for OK.

K?

Was it sent from a smart phone? I believe that Blackberries have emoticons associated with different letters. Writer may have not pushed the special button you have to push before pushing the letter.

Yes, it's annoying. News flash, don't send smiley faces in business emails.

Oh thbbt. I send smiley faces in business emails all the time. I work with a lot of people I never see F2F (many I've never even met F2F). We have to build rapport through email, so I make comments that are meant to be funny -- and i put a smiley face afterward to make that clear.

Outlook shows smileys as a J in the little pop up screen.

tip...if your email program turns a colon and parenthesis into an actual smiley face graphic, it's going to be a "J" when received by many people.
