Lol?

No, I prefer "Haha"

Personally, I try to stray away from using terms such as "lol,""imho," and "w00t" because I think it makes it look like I have a typing deficiency or am missing several fingers and refuse to type that many words. I had a very interesting conversation with a close friend of mine that I thought was rather insightful... take a look.

me: lol
ugh... i try to stop myself from doing that
"lol"

my friend: it's hard
you'd think the new gen of computer geeks would have come up with something better

me: rofl, ^^, and :D have become more popular :D

my friend: rofl?

me: rolling on floor laughing
that one took a while for me :D

my friend: oh my god...really?

me: really

my friend: and ^^?

me: as in ^.^
like a smiley face

my friend: i feel old

me: whats funny is that this gen of computer nerds has split in 2: the ones that like to talk think and the ones that brutally play computer games
while "^.^" would be acceptable in a chat room,
it wouldn't fly in a videogame chat box
same with w00t, but the other way around

my friend: shudder

me: its scary, if you think about it

my friend: i don't like it

me: me neither
i enjoy words

my friend: i spell out every word in text messages, too

me: amen
unless I'm getting near my 160 character limit

my friend: ha - right

me: and it took me a full 3 years to learn that w00t meant "We owned the other team" because it is never used in that context.

my friend: wait - that's what it stands for?

me: exactly

my friend: oh my

me: "haha. halo 8 is coming out this week"
"w00t"

my friend: maybe i shouldn't go down this rabbit hole

me: haha
trust me, words are way better.

my friend: uh… rofl?
