to beg you all to please stop LOLing?

[Crevix]

It makes me cringe.

Who the chuff ever thinks about 'Laughing out loud', let alone ever says such a thing?

It is one step away from Txt talk and hunning and it makes me nauseous.

If something is amusing will a or a or even a 'Ha Ha' not do?

Please people, just stop, cease and disist.

I don't LOL, but I think I may overuse the too much.

Desist.

now.

immediately

ok hun

lol

it's loooooooooooooooool that gets me it's like someone is laughing with a stutter, or a bad rapper.

Laughing out out out out out out out out out out out out loud

pmsl.

Loling or lolling is worse

laugh out louding?

twats

i do use lol far too much tho. but a lot of the time i really am laughing a bit!

Will try to stop.

it's the LOL that is creeping in frequently.

and it is wrong in every sense. how would you not laugh out loud?

a laugh is out loud, not silent.

Lolololol!

LOLZ is pretty shit.

I usually only ha or ha ha or hahahaha if very amusing.

It's nice and friendly, all the Lolhuns do it. Have a chili.

oh no i can laugh in my head too

I often laugh out loud! Feel sorry for people who never even think about it (seems a little weird to me)

I know many people do find lol annoying but in its defence - it actually predates 'text talk' by some years. it's been used as acceptable shorthand to show tone on internet forums pretty much since day one - we all know the, ahem, confusion, that can arise because you can't hear tone or see people's expressions online so don't know how certain comments are meant.

Also language is constantly evolving - each generation hates the words from the next....it's part of life and getting older.

LOL, PMSL, ROFL. LMFAO, etc etc

NO! YABU. This is the internet, hellooooo. 'LOL 'is entrenched in the history of t'interweb and message boards.

That's like asking everyone to stop saying 'OK'.

I do love a well placed LOL now and again.

in fact i've just invented LIMH

that's laughing in my head

I know what you mean. I am quite new and so haven't learnt all the "etiquette" yet, but I quickly picked up from lurking that "textspeak" isn't acceptable here.

I like to write and have a tendency to waffle, I think sometimes it is just a quick response ?

I expect waffling is even worse.

it is really irritating me. violently.

in my defence i am very tired and pollenated.

I prefer LMAOPKB

i'd prefer to start a better abbreviation. what about 'sr' for snicker or something. i often chuckle at posts on mn but rarely actually lol.

lolz at this thread!

Agree with deesus and madonnawhore, nowt wrong with the odd lol here and there.

sungirltan Apparently the new 'in' abbreviation is alol (actually laughing out loud) as it's pretty much accepted that you are not really lolling when you lol on a forum. If that makes sense.

I am sooooo sad down with the kids! I have pwned this thread
