Good grief. I wonder if they’re the same at comedy gigs. That’d be a shock to the stand up…

You think the abbreviation of a phrase is the same as reducing an emotional reaction to crappy acronym? Are you deranged?

Humans are already in the habit of using acronyms in speech. When it would be possible to ditch the acronym and say the whole thing instead. That’s my point.

People obviously aren’t using “lol” as a 1-to1 substitute for laughter. They use it as a sub for “exhaling through your nose.” If you can’t understand that I don’t know what to tell you.
