I have done that to my boss before. He never said anything lol

But yes, I do tend to stick x at the end of texts, force of habit.

I made that mistake when I text a customer recently... Caused two problems:

1) It was a customer

2) Her husband borrowed her phone that day!

Sometimes I do but only because the other person does. Then again I forget sometimes and the other person will ask why they didn't get a kiss...

sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

It depends on the text and the person. If you're involved in a conversation with a few texts going to and fro, I don't see the point in putting them at the end of each one. To a friend, I see them as a signal that that's the end of the convo.

If someone's going to get offended just because you've committed the heinous crime of forgetting a x or two, they really do need to step back and learn a sense of proportion.

See I am of the understanding that Kisses are redeemable on the real thing so I never put them on anything unless that person is a close family or a lover.

Always put kisses. But I only ever text people I care about. I do put more or fewer kisses depending on who though.

Orson would not presume to send kisses to someone he has not been formally introduced to. How forward and a trifle vulgar, Orson thinks.

I'm one of those strange people who uses a phone to talk to people. If someone texts me I generally just call them back (unless it's something not requiring a response).

If I do text, it usually ends up that garbled with the predictive text, (plus not having reading glasses on) that an x at the end could confuse the poor recipient even more!

x x x x

Ps. I dont know what all the :)) type of endings indicate (if anything).

Noticed most women tend to sign-off with kisses.
Don't know any men who do.

I've started included a, less gender sensitive, smilie when replying to family and friends who close with kisses.

ok would seem to be a quite a tricky subject but tend to go with kisses for anyone i know very well and a :) for everyone else. Agree that full stops are usually reserved for exes !!
