Ya rly.

I don't mind those. In fact I don't mind most internet acronyms in general.

Thank god! I thought I was the only one to think those acronyms were plainly stupid.

Someone told me once that some people even say "lol" in real life! I never heard someone say it, nut just to think about it makes my brain hurt! Some people... just say... lol... instead of... really ... laughing? WTF? What's wrong with people?

One of my roommates says "lawl", I knew a kid in high school that would say "jk".

I'm not a big fan of any figure of speech originating from chat monkeys on the Internet. Especially in acronym form.

I refuse to use it. It makes no sense at all. People use it over and over (mostly internet noobs who want to "fit in") in the most retarded contexts that make no sense.

/rant off.

Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Internet fads are the worst of them all. All your ____ are belong to us, in Soviet Russia, _____ _____'s you, Chuck Norris and roundhouse kicks, FTW, FTL, QFT, !!!!111!112!.

They're usually not very funny in the first place. Maybe worth a chuckle or two with the right timing and in the right context, but then you see it at least once in every single thread that you click on. It gets old real quick.

Don't even complain about FTW. My roommate says STFU like "stoo-foo", uses "teh" in normal speech, and I've actually heard him say on two occasions, "pwns real hard" while referring to a game.

Damn you intarweb lingo! Damn you to hell!

That's just crazy. I keep internet lingo away from real life. I don't get weird stares that way

One acronym I?ve never understood is when instead of typing lol, people type lololololololol.

If they are trying to express that they are laughing even more so confused: ?), then why not just put ROFL, or LMAO??
