Has "LOL" replaced periods at the end of a sentence?

Some people here communicate mainly through emoticons. Remove the emoticons for a week and half the people here would be mute.

It would be pleasant.

Posts wouldn't be half as fun. The "emoticons" help sugar coat opinions and information. I find it usefull and fun.

Without them i don't think people would be mute, just bland and boring like your post ..... where's your lol.

Lmao

lol is overplayed. I've moved on to lulz.

But I have always enjoyed throwing it into a conversation with people. Obnoxiously saying "Laugh out Loud", instead of laughing always creates an unstoppable, awkward silence that I in turn use for crazy fuel..

edit/ hahaha, I found it. I say it like this guy at 40 seconds. This is an old vid I saw a long time ago.

It's original definition was "Laughing out loud" (also written occasionally as "Lots of Laughs"), used as a brief acronym to denote great amusement in chat conversations.

Now, it is overused to the point where nobody laughs out loud when they say it. In fact, they probably don't even give a @#$%about what you just wrote. More accurately, the acronym "lol" should be redefined as "Lack of laughter."

Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:
1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."
2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."
3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."
4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'"

I do not "sugar coat" my opinions here or anywhere else, hence no need for emoticons.

I see you tend to lean on their use.

I actually don't use them that often. Though i don't act like i am to old or mature to use them either .

Just for the sake of the thread and your previous comment i thought it made sense to begin useing them.

I do think lol is over used, but hey so is everything else in this world.
