Here is a question for you if i may ask, is it just me or do people talking in internet abbreviations like LOL, ROFLMAO, BRB and all the rest sound foolish and stupid. I don’t mean online though, in conversation.
To me they do, if i am going to laugh out loud then i am going to do it so if i have to actually say it for a sound to come out, i am guessing it really isn’t that funny after all.
This line of thought reminds me of one time i went to an internet chat room meet up. It was with people who i would chat with every day and we were at the time the cool kids of our little community yet get face to face with them and they wouldn’t be able to hold a conversation or remember your real name. It was quite bizarre to see that face to face communication skills had either broken down or were never there to begin with. I am sure there is some psychological study that i could make zillions performing, if only i had the degree!

Yes! instead of laughing they say “LOL”
Its one thing to write it but another to actually say it out loud!
