TylerM – Tyler Menezes

Dear internet:

Please stop using the acronym “lol” when you’re not actually laughing. Seriously, nine of ten times I see the phrase lol used, there’s no way the person would have actually laughed out loud. I present you with a list of phrases which can be used instead, in ascending order from not that funny to very funny.

1. “haha” (feel free to repeat as many times as you want, more “ha”s mean more humor)
2. “loi” - laughing on the inside.
3. “lqtm” - laughing quietly to myself.
4. “lol” - laughing out loud, to be used only if you actually laugh out loud
5. “rofl” - rolling on the floor laughing, funnier than lol, still misleading if you didn’t actually get on the floor
6. “rofl-isiagotf” - “rolling on the floor laughing - I’m serious, I actually got on the floor.”

In conclusion, don’t say “lol” if you don’t really laugh out loud. Also, stop adding extra letters to the end of words likeeeee thissssss. It’s really annoying.
