The Liberation of LOL
It’s time to face the truth… Are you abusing lol? You are most likely to be one of the internet generation LOL Abusers according to a statistic by the National Acronym Monitoring Board of Linguistic Anomalies. Research could reveal a devastating misusage of lol since people actually don’t laugh out loud whenever they add lol in a chat message, text message on their cellphone or even worse in everyday conversations in real life. Caution: “False Lolling” [...] is a class G felony punishable by permanent IP banning and in rare cases death by pawnage.”, it says on nomorelol.com
Remedy LOI: Laughing on the inside.
False usage of the abbreviation lol (laughing out loud) is committed by so called lol addicts whose remedy should be found in loi, as in laughing on the inside. LMAO (laughing my ass off) and ROFL (rolling of the floor laughing) are most likely to be replaced with an alternative as well. Since how often do you roll over your floor.

That site doesn’t even address people who use it all the time, even when something funny/amusing isn’t said. It’s just like say “ok” or filling in empty silence, like “I went to the store lol.” I hate that stupid acronym and never use it, or most acronyms with the exception of brb.
In andere Nachrichtung habe ich heute die Deutsch AP gemacht, und ich würde estaunt, wenn ich nicht eine 5 bekommt (die beste Note). Ich glaube die meisten meine Klasse hat gut gemacht, und obwohl Morgan hat viel Angst davor, ich glaube er hat auch sehr gut gemacht.
Das Ende ist nah! Alles ist verloren!
Well, I agree, there are people who use is ALL THE TIME. Who just need to add “lol” at the end of the line before they can hit the enter button. That, my lol addicts, is sick. Get some help :)
However, they are also addressing to those who use it when encountering a funny situation where they do not laugh OUT LOUD. Since they suggest LOI.
Gut zu hören, dass es dir gut gegangen ist. 5 wäre in Österreich ein Herbsttermin (also eine Wiederholungsprüfung im Herbst, weil 5 = durchgefallen = failed)… Morgan wird das auch locker schaffen, der soll sich nicht fertig machen!
