I hate "lol" as punctuation. If you're legitimately laughing out loud, fine. But, I really hate:
"can I show u something lol"
"I gave it to David lol"
See, I feel like I have to do it to show some levity, since tone doesn't come across through text.
There's a big difference if you're talking with a friend about something stupid they did, and saying "You're such an idiot lol" and "You're such an idiot." One is teasing them, the other is chastising them.
That's what "heh", used to be used for. It's not "laughing out loud", it's more a tiny chuckle.
I agree lol
If someone is doing that to you it means they don't like you or are otherwise done with your shit. It's also a way of saying "I really shouldn't be saying this" as kind of a way of addressing what you're said before is fucked up but insisting the need to communicate it regardless.
Then you're gonna hate my use of "lololol" instead of "hahahah", both of which i use essentially interchangeably in texts.
That's a bit annoying, but at least it represents laughing. What I hate is when it's just used to "lighten the mood" and doesn't represent laughing at all.
And, the proper way is "jajajaja", as my Spanish-speaking friends have taught me.
I always liked the 5555 in thai.
If it's coming out of a teenager... passable.
If it's coming out of an adult... please act your age.
lol
I'll act whatever age I please thanks.
