That’s what I say when somebody tells me something I didn’t already know, but I can’t think of anything else to respond with.
Actually maybe I should change that habit. Do you have any suggestions for what to do instead? It sometimes comes off as sarcastic, and other times I get the sort of respond you just gave. Neither outcome seems optimal.
Yeah. You’re right. Funny that I went almost a decade using “interesting” in that context even though it’s clearly not a very good choice, and it takes about 3 seconds of thought to come up with something much better.
How so? I only remarked because I’m, you know… punctilious.

“Oh, I didn’t know that”

Low-hanging fruit. Makes me wonder what I can improve about myself so easily. I bet there’s a lot.
Maybe “oops”? Or “oh, sorry”? If you had edited your comment without remark, I would have just deleted mine.
Oh I see. Yeah you’re right.
