Reasons why I hate the use of ‘lol’ (an ongoing process):

1. To abbreviate a phrase due to impatience shows a lack of respect to the English language. The same can be said about ‘BTW’, ‘FYI’ and ‘BRB’.

An even more ill-mannered representation of abbreviation is the commonly used ‘luv’, which apparently is what social networking communities call ‘love’. How can a word so passionate and emotive be disregarded and drained of its original meaning in order to save time?! Personally, if I ever receive ‘luv’ instead of ‘love’ then you have lost something more than time. Understand?

2. Ok, so I guess you shouldn’t judge another human on first impressions.
But to me, it shows a lack of maturity, especially if it is wildly overused. I have no qualms judging someone if this is the case!!
However, I do admit that I did use the phrase when I was about 18, way before I ever discovered absurdism and the power of the WORD.

3. I believe the use of ‘lol’ after a comical sentence shows a lack of confidence within ones charm and humour…to cover ones back.
If the correspondent doesn’t take the sentence as a joke then you have either failed or the receiver is extremely dull-witted. Thus resulting in his or her own problem, not yours!

4. Most importantly, the use of ‘lol’ in most cases in a LIE. Are you actually ‘laughing out loud’?
A true example is the incredibly bizarre phrase ‘lmao’.
Do you actually expect me to believe that you are in fact ‘laughing your ass off'? How is that even possible? So a throw away comment via an electronic medium has had such an effect on your physical state that the lower part of your body has literally dropped off?
I may be extremely funny, but I’m not bloody Jesus Christ.

I understand that I swear and use ‘slang’ terms but that is only due to the informal environment that I choose to be in, with friends and such. Or to express emotional emphasis (e.g. Anger, Despair or Joy).
So go fuck yourself…lol.
