conversation - Is it right to 'Hmmm'?



While in a online conversation(by typing), how do you let know the other person that you are there listening to him/her? I suppose it would be annoying to type 'okay' or 'yes' all the time and right now, I use 'Hmmm' or 'mmm' as if I am nodding my head to what he says. I am not sure this is the right way or is there something better?


Answer



The normal way to respond to the bore person on the other end is to type something that is an intelligent response to whatever that person is bloviating talking about. Useless interjections don't do much except break up the flow, especially in multi-party chats.
