My advice: Don't bother.

It doesn't take that much time and effort to type 2/3 extra letters does it? I mean...why act as if you have the intelligence of a goldfish bowl when you can normally get A grades in English? It doesn't make sense to me.

As for understanding it - don't bother with that either. Do what I do and ask them 'nicely' if they can try typing in English ;p

Yeah, there's a point where you have to realize that typing like that is pointless. There's nothing worse than having your MSN popup and have someone say:

"Hey wtsup? lol omfg i feel sck rofl!"

I just use lol or brb. Just easier but I usually try my best to just use english really. I don't bother with anything else but that really. But I know what you mean, it is confusing :lol:

I use brb, gtg, lol/lmao alot, but I always try to use punctuation, grammar, and all that stuff. I hate when people tawk lik dis....how hard is it to spell something correctly?? I can understand it when it's covering up a swear or something, but jeez, some people actually write that way in school... :rolleyes:

I love irune.

:P



All I use is "lol" and "lmao/lmfao". But everyone knows what those mean, and there&#39;s no other way (besides emoticons) to express laughter.

I use lol. That&#39;s IT.

I hate any other lingo. I also hate all that bad spelling (it doesn&#39;t take much longer to find the right letter). I hate StIcKy CaPs and 1337 is only ever acceptable on MegaTokyo. Grammar is my biggest pet peeve. So... yeah.

I only use lol because it looks less demented than hahahaha. (w00t)
