think it necessary to put "LOL"
at the end of nearly every sentence, whether it is fitting or not?


LOL (Internet slang), an acronym or abbrieviation of "laughing out
loud", "laugh out loud", "lots of laughs."

Sometimes it beats me when I see it under a serious topic, where there
is nothing to laugh about.

Well, sometimes is fine, but I see people using it all the time, after
nearly every sentence.

I just don't see it fitting for real serious topics, it's annoying at
it's best.

I use it to express joy, levity and to let the person know I enjoyed
there coment.

Kinda of a smile to a fellow human is in the real world.

But I agree lets come up with a new and better slang thaing.

Hmmm
hmmmm
hmmmmmmmm?????


I know POMF slang for "Piss off mother F***ker". That would be so much
better at the end of ALL words.noway


I am just jocking. POMF I mean LOL happy

Yes, I suppose I'm guilty of that too...But when it's something serious,
I don't put it.

Yeah, I like iRon's idea. That's pretty clever.
I don't know why people would do it on a serious subject. That's odd. I
do it a lot, if there is ANY question about whether the remark could be
miscontrued as an insult were it not for the writer meaning it as a
light-hearted comment.

Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, I just don't think it appropriate in
topics that have to be taken serious.frown

sometimes people put it because they want the person to know its ment to
be funny i think its because they cant show emotion on here and that is
the only way ,

Absolutely agreed..........I only do it when we're all clowning around,
especially in the evenings........You know how most of us
get.........But if it's something serious, I don't do anything of the
sort, in reference to laughing. It's not right.
