nzlegend 1 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 It's one of my pet peeves on the computer: people who type LOL ad nauseum in forums, emails, IM's etc. Are people really that easily amused that they are genuinely 'laughing out loud' like a hyena at the merest frivolity or triviality? Whenever I see LOL, it conjures an image in my mind the most ditsy, vapid, scattered brained teenage girl Even worse are those who think it's funny to put a "z" and make it 'lolz' - that shows an even more deficient I.Q than the plain version. Anyone else irked by the inanity and pure stupidity of all the 'lol-ers' and their nauseating abbreviation? Link to post Share on other sites

I was exaggarating a tad there - a heavy dose of satire* I am pleased that I am not only one who is irked. sat⋅ire [sat-ahyuhr] –noun 1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc. 2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.

JA2340 16 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 and without the use of emoticons, there is no indication of the intent. So one can only assume that the words used are used with the usual meaning and no emotion implications. That is the intent of emoticons. To display your intent, you use or I do, in fact understand satire. You didn't indicate that intent. So ... time to get a life and care about some more important stuff.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 C'mon ger, there are places where the omg is appropriate. For me it is when it is in capitals OMG - and would be read (in my head anyway) as Quote: OH.......MY........GOD...!!! And then on with the story. I dont think I am awfully fond of it in lower case omg usage. Such as ... Quote: "I had such an awesome night last night, omg, it was amazing, and omg omg you just wont believe what happened next."
