LOL, ROFL, TTYL, BRB and other aberrations of the English language - Page 3

On another note, I love how "aberration" is spelled incorrectly in the thread title.

Giligan · 09-18-2006, 10:22 AM

Yes, it should only be one B.

Good point, I wonder how that one got by. Maybe I can change it and not look like such a hypocrite...

I use lol, not cause I'm lazy(besides typing out "Laughing out loud" every time you find something funny looks kind of weird, and the alternative "Haha" is like 1 extra letter so I dont think it has mch to do with lazyness) but because I like how it sounds. Same with ROFL(Wich has the same ammount of letters as "Haha")

Squinky · 09-18-2006, 12:40 PM

But what does LOL sound like, anyway? I always read it as "lawl", but others insist that it's "ehl oh ehl". Similarly, I always read ROFL so that it rhymes with "waffle".

RLacey · 09-18-2006, 12:54 PM

It's "ehl oh ehl", dammit!

samIamsad · 09-18-2006, 01:11 PM

FWIW I kinda like them. OTOH it's really quite the lawl. ISTM that I'll be AFAIK in a minute or so. YABA just for kicks: BBL. TTYAL, all!

*chuckle*. I'm so hopeless, I can only actually parse about two thirds of that. I'm pathetic.)

RLacey · 09-18-2006, 02:52 PM

I suppose the obvious question is to ask which two thirds of it you can parse.

Lee in Limbo · 09-18-2006, 03:16 PM

I'm not sure, actually.

Squinky · 09-18-2006, 03:24 PM

Stop heckling my fan club, Rob!

RLacey · 09-18-2006, 03:25 PM

I'm only challenging his dedication...

What? That was a challenge? Oh come now, you're going to have to try a lot harder than that if you want to put me off of this fandom. I mean seriously, you yourself know how cool Squinky is. You don't suppose a little light ribbing is going to make me forget that, do you?

Karmillo · 09-18-2006, 03:35 PM

I thought Sam was Squinkys fan...or was that just her avatar?

Squinky · 09-18-2006, 03:49 PM

No, he only liked my avatar. Lee loves me for my personality, so he's a true fan.

RLacey · 09-18-2006, 03:53 PM

You do realise that he'll desert you as soon as he gets his membership pack, right?

Squinky · 09-18-2006, 03:55 PM

Now you're just pissing on my parade.

RLacey · 09-18-2006, 03:56 PM

I'm the one true voice of realism.

Oh, and sorry

. Think of it as jealousy, because I can't even manage a fan singular.
