Laugh Out Loud

Woo, my first blog - ever! So, for my first blog ever, I decided to take a really random topic.

Laugh Out Loud - LOL

LOL, abbreviation for Laugh Out Loud is a very common internet slang.

Some refuse to use it, many use it while others abuse it.

By abusing its use, I mean this:

MissLOLaLot : Guess what? LOL.

AnnoyedFriend : What?

MissLOLaLot : My goldfish died. LOL.

AnnoyedFriend : Why are you saying 'LOL' then?

MissLOLaLot : I don't know. LOL.

A few others question the use of LOL.

One man says, ''How many are really laughing out loud when they say LOL?''

While another says, ''A user who types LOL may well be laughing louder than one who types lol.''

In my opinion, LOL, ROFL and other abbreviations such as those are fine to use so long as they are not overused. But do try to avoid using them when writing formal letters or anything that requires formality.

But hey, 'lol' actually has a meaning in some languages.

Such as in Dutch, lol means fun, lollig meaning funny.

While in Welsh, lol means nonsense, rwtsh lol meaning utter nonsense.

You're most likely saying 'lolwut' right now.
