Title: How Do You Read "lol"?
Post by: JrDude on July 15, 2009, 10:06:13 PM
How do you read these laughing things? Like "lol." Do you read "L-O-L" or "LAWL"? Same with the rest, do you actually read it? or do you read the letters?
For a long time I never understood "lawl" because I read the letters, not it as a word. Which means I read it "L-O-L"

"lawl" or "lohl", however you want to phonetically spell it.

This. It's much smoother to say it this way.

...plus, "ell oh ell" irritates me.

Just saying the letters "L-O-L."
Really, it's not a word, so I wouldn't say it like one.

lol = L-O-L
rofl = ruff-el
lmao = lame-o (and for the longest time I thought 'lmao' was someone calling you lame)

Can't think of any others at the moment. But I got the most-used ones.

Oh, and I still read 'lololololol' as 'el oh el oh el oh el oh el oh el'. Never once saw 'lol' as 'lawl'. Ever.

Fiiiish!

I read Lol as lawl, which is fairly common. I do read rofl as rolf though. I never really paid much attention to it and always read it as rolf. Eventually it just stuck.

I read it as "lohl", and most other acronyms as a word. Except idk, since I feel like a retarded kid if I pronounce that as a word.
