It irks me that a lot of people put LOL when I'm sure they aren't.
If I put LOL then I actually AM LOL.
Hence, I'd never write ROTFL because I can't see myself doing that over a forum - especially not at work... In fact, I don't think I've done that ever - except when tickled.
Talking about pedantic, it excludes quite a number of people who are no familiar with these abbreviations. I taught myself internet and use pc and still am puzzled with these abreviations.I actually putop a topic here called abbrviations which has been ignored.
So, come of your pedestal all you cybercitizens and explain me all those shortcuts. It is not easy to read your posts if one can't read them, annoying enough to read huge blocks of posts without space between paragraphs.
It makes a gap between the younger guard of elitist netizens and the novices (older generations)
