What does it mean when British people put an X at the end of text messages or emails?
This is an excellent question! This has been debated at length between my friends, and as a twenty something who grew up with texting, I am reasonably qualified to answer.Echoing many of the other answers here, it is a form of a friendly sign off or endearment. It can become quite political also.No X = for a person you know you will not get an X back from / if you are annoyed with someone / a guy you don't really knowX = standard for any friend / a girl you don't really knowXX = a girl you likeXXX+ = flirting / playing a game with someone / going overboardTwo funny caveats of this are;1. Some people really do take notice of the amount of Xs they are getting. If you send XX to a girl, you may get XXX back, but if you drop back down to an X after, you almost certainly will not get XXX back again2. People can get offended if you provide no Xs, unless you are renowned for being a no-XerI remember getting quizzed about why I was sending an X at the end of my text to a guy from the US when I was on exchange. It was quite awkward to explain that it was a kiss and 'normal'.Unfortunately, this practice is dying, as most people send multiple shorter messages through whatsapp, rather than longer less frequent texts, meaning that sign offs are less necessary.

What does a person mean when they put three dots after a word in a message, e.g. "okay …"?
The dots indicate the usual words which follow so they needn’t be written out. Taking your example of “okay …,” the person reading this is expected to understand it means “(Is that) okay with you?”There’s no set of dots leading up to the okay, where the words “Is that,” are also expected to be understood because the dots (whose term escapes me) only are used at the end of a phrase, including a one word phrase as in your example.Elsewhere if there are words that are expected to be understood, they are contained by parentheses. This is usually done with interviews when the reporter isn’t certain all of the readers will understand what was conveyed in person. That’s when writers will add the words which they understood, using parentheses to indicate this is the writer’s interpretation (not an actual quote.)It’s the same idea as adding (sic) when quoting a piece of writing where the original text clearly misspelled a word. The writers quoting the passage use (sic) both to let readers know they’re quoting exactly and that the mistake or typo is not their fault.I hope that helps.
