of the older.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
Generations, and I'm including millennials in this use it to
say yep, got your message, or to say conversation over.
But because of that, it's like, I thought it was
a polite thing to say yep to round out a conversation.

wrapping up this conversation.

do you think?

to let somebody know that you've read their message and
you're thinking of them. Though, if you don't have, you know,
a big sentence to say, you can just thumbs it up.
