[stylist] A Parody of Modern Internet Communication

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I think LOL and other text-talk, as I call it, is very over-used, and often
misused too, but for me, I use various words and acronyms to help note and
define meaning in written messages so people understand the intent of my
message. I only use it for casual messages like listserves and Facebook, but
intent doesn't always come across in written form, so I will use LOL or
write out emogees like smile or frown so my meaning is clearer. Personally,
it's a little too cute-see for me, but if it helps clear up intent, then it
can't hurt, smile. LOL, smirking face with Devil horns, LOL!!!!

Hi Jackie.
 Yes I think the exclamation mark could be in the club with LOL for overuse
for ease and attempt to indicate expression. Sadly, though, I think LOL has
become the UM of the computer world. HAHA. I suppose we have verbal things
like that in our speech too. My husband and I noticed, for example, how much
we both say the word like in casual conversation. It's total filler. LOL. I
don't type it as much as I'd say it.
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
