[stylist] A Parody of Modern Internet Communication

[Jackie Williams]

Sem,
That is a pretty funny story as told by the comedian. I am wondering if it
is similar to the over-use of the exclamation mark. Ease of use, a bit of
laziness in word choice, and wanting to join the crowd. What do you think?

On the subject of LOL,
I once saw a comedian on T.V that I really thought was funny. She was 
talking about LOL and this was even a few years back, but it fits now more 
than ever. She was saying how people tend to use it when they don't need to.

Like when things really aren't funny. Her example was something like...You 
get a friends facebook post that reads, got drunk last night, got robbed, 
lost the car, can't find the kids, don't even know who's computer I'm 
using...LOL.
HAHA.
Often people, we all likely, can use it for filler when we'd merely smile or

use some sort of whimsical expression, and its too easy as typing has no 
expression. And darn it we can get lazy. I really started noticing it ,more 
after that comedy routine as my husband and I also do stand up under Heckle 
and Jeckel locally. Really need to put some up on you tube one day, but 
though we're young suck so much at technology that we know it'd be a 
headache...LOL.
Yes I did that intentionally HAHA.
