"lol" Once Not Twice As "lol Lol" Makes No Sense Arrrgh!

[Henrietta]

Has anyone else noticed the use of "LOL" more than once by internet posters online?

Recently I've noticed internet users saying "LOL LOL" instead of the normal "LOL"

The meaning is "Laugh/Laughing out loud" which can be used once to show that you're laughing and if you laugh more than once you don't have to put "LOL LOL" and just the "LOL" will suffice and show the rest of us that you're tickled pink.

Has anyone else noticed this "Misuse" of this or any other internet abbreviations?

I think I have a little too much time on my hands today and need a long drink of the hard stuff :)

Pour one for me while you are at it! LOL ;-)

Lots of abbreviations are misused by those not realising what the letters stand for. How often has one heard the expression "PIN number" ? Or maybe a personal identification PIN number maybe ?

[Henrietta]

Very good Psybbo. A gold star is heading your way :)

[janbee]

Maybe they mean "laugh out loud" and then "lots of love". Ok ok, just a guess !!

[Henrietta]

Pooka1950 I will when it's time ;)

[Sqad]

Yes...I have noticed it..LOL

I misuse it a lot.....LOL (lots of laughs)......LOL.LOL ( can't stop laughing)

Would you prefer that i desisted on the LOL..LOL ?

[Old_Geezer]

You should stop lolling about.

And why when someone has posted 'LMAO' are they still sat on their chair and not 'ROFL' ?

[Henrietta]

Sqad you might be the one person that is allowed to "Misuse" it as it's very refreshing to see a happy doctor when my experience has shown that 95% of doctors definitely do not "LOL" at any time I am there.

Recently I have noticed people using "@" and then the person's name when they are responding to a post. For example they will use "@ stuey" instead of just "stuey" if responding to this post of mine. Why?

[Henrietta]

Mamyalynne that is soooo true! :)

I like to put lots of LOLS in jokes to wind tonyav up and say I think it's funnier than he does!

[Henrietta]

Stuey on other sites using the "@" symbol tags the user and shows the user in their profile that someone has tagged their name so they can come online, click and see where they were mentioned. It's a really cool feature.

Henrietta....that is very kind my dear (sqad bowing)

[Henrietta]

No problemo sqad :)

Looks like the suns out,drinks are on ice and the beer gardens are beckoning.

Have a nice friday/weekend everyone. Hopefully it's full of "LOLs" ;)

Bye.
