LOL

Wed Aug 04, 2004 7:31 pm

when you see LOL do you read it as letters or as words? i read it as words

Wed Aug 04, 2004 7:38 pm

I read it as words, like "Lolling tongue." Sometimes I say LOL in real life and my friends give me strange looks. :D

I don't know. I just say it out of habit now.

Sometimes I have to stop myself from saying "lol" in real life. :P

I say the letters L-O-L.

Haha, I don't think I've ever said lol in real life before, but once I did get mad at my cat and I said 'shakes fist' instead of actually shaking my fist at her like I normally do :roflol:

Ditto for me. I read it as letters.

Hehe, I read as if its a word, not an acronym.

Wed Aug 04, 2004 8:40 pm

I read it the way its spelled....
It sounds funny saying it out loud, though.

I also have the problem of pronouncing it every time I use it. Its a lot easier to say than L-O-L and laughing out loud, so why not say it? My brother is always like "Lol? OH, you mean LOL"

I only see it as letters. I assume though that it would be pronounded lawl? Meh, I don't know. L-o-l[erz, haha] is the way it seems to me. I love acronyms!

i emant do you read it as laugh out loud or l-o-l

Wed Aug 04, 2004 9:35 pm

I always read it as a word, for some reason, and occasionally I'll say it IRL:p

Neither. I say lol, as in.. lawl.
I do say it to people in real life, and thankfully they have come to realise what it means.

I read it as: L..O..L. Sometimes I'll say to the word to myself, but its not that often.
