to feel a flash of irritation everytime I read a post that begins and ends with LOL ?

i couldn't be friends with anyone who refers to anything as being 'wicked'.

[WilyWombat]

Wow you cant have anything important in your life to get annoyed about thats all I can say, personally I think you are being a bit anal You are not the only one though as I know my brother feels the same way - he is anal and turning into my Dad more each day.

I dont like text speak but in a minor "what happened to the english language" way.

I do use LOL mainly because words on the screen can come across so cold I feel that, in context, it humanises my words if you know what I mean.

You're welcome wabbit

[wabbit]

[wabbit]

oh and might I add I hate hth - as invariably it doesn't.

[anotherdayyetanothernickname]

We could have a whole scale from:

mmsm - made me snigger mildly

through to...

gttl - grab the Tena lady

[Heifer]

as if....

[MamaG]

Sarky Heifer, moi?

[Swedes]

@ lol I got that top lol. Mama perhaps there is a disease whereby the poster feels compelled to start and finish a post with a pallindrome Mama.

[Heifer]

I just thought you were being sarky when you said hehe!

[MamaG]

oblomov - I use hehe for that

[MamaG]

its not the use of LOL that irritates as much as

"lol i know what you mean lol"

and

"lol I've got taht top lol"

WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????????

[Oblomov]

I wish there was another acronym for ... like a mild snigger. Something that makes you ... acknowledge that it is funny without necessarily rolling around the floor.

[Heifer]

I doubt if I have ever used LOL in any of your threads Mamag as they are soo very boring and have never ever ever made me larf or even smirk in the slightest...[need a lier emotion here]

Maybe I should start using YOL (Yawned out Loud)...

PS - thanks for the cake by the way, still waiting for the real thing....

[MrsTicklemouse]

I hate it! I have a friend whos been nicknamed Lol she uses it so much! it makes me shudder!

[hayley2u]

whats the problem its abbre better than keep saying ha ha ha

[Swedes]

Trinity - Roffle is lovely.

I wish there was a mumsnet-recognised acronym for laughing up my sleeve. Xenia's posts always make me LUMS.

[Swedes]

Maidamess - I feel honoured, thank you.

[TrinityRhino]

I invented roffle

there is a whole thread about it

[maidamess]

Swede. You really made me laugh with your post. I chuckled to myself, which faded into a happy smile.

Is that alright?

[MrsMacaroon]

i pissed myself laughing once whilst sitting on a bean bag...bit like a cat litter tray, it just got absorbed

LOL
