I’ll use “ha ha ha,” instead of LOL, due to recent troll efforts.

That is for the best.

'Haha' denotes that you WROTE laughter to indicated you found something amusing, and the 'haha' stays within the realm of the written word.

'LOL' says that you 'laughed out loud' in real life, taking it from the page into the realm of reality. People so overuse the LOL, that nobody envisions somebody at their computer 'laughing out loud'. Nine times out of ten, when somebody types LOL, they did not 'laugh out loud'. LOL is a lie.

Its time for the LOL to pass into the dustbin of computer nerd history. I am calling for a total ban of LOL from this thread. Let it go the way of the dreaded 'C' word.

These are the thoughts that keep me up at night.

I have yet to use that term.
However I would like to know what LOLOLOL means. Laughed out loud out loud out loud?
