What internet abbreviations irritate you the most?

[Beware the Beast Man]

My pick is LOL. How often in you life (unless you're on menwholooklikekennyrogers.com or something) do you laugh out loud at what someone has to say online? The only time I LOL is if I see something funny on television. Anyone else?

[LiberalVoice]

1. "AWGTHTTATA"

I'm doing it again..."Are we going to have to talk about this again?"

[Beware the Beast Man]

3. Yikes, never even heard that one before.

ummm...LOL?

[Speck Tater]

21. ILMBC

"I Lost My Blue Crayon"

Boy, that one really ticks me off.

[LTR]

2. IIRC

What is it?

[Richardo]

7. "If I Recall Correctly"...

I do use that one occasionally...

[cheezus]

4. um, I actually do lol

well, it's usually chortle out loud, and sometimes giggle out loud.

but I do save lol for when I really do lol

[Lestat]

5. I don't like LOL either.

It bothers me. And so does "ROFL". This is strange, though, because I use these abbreviations all the time...

[Guy Fawkes]

16. I like "ROFL"

but only because I read it as "ra-full" instead of reading it as an acronym

[Commendatori]

6. Actually, LOL is the one I hate most, too. It's used

far more often to indicate that a post is in good humor than it is to indicate uproarious laughter. Example: "I know you're a Yankees fan, but I'd rather brush my teeth with a bandsaw than go to the Bronx for a game, LOL."

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. Just picture yourself LOLing

everytime you type LOl...you realize how stupid it sounds.

Before I met my wife, I was chatting with a female on line who used "LOL" after every sentence. It was unnerving.

[Commendatori]

13. I walked a mile in your shoes, and

had to explain to this girl that I'd rather see OR hear her put the word "like" in each sentence five times ("It was, like, so, like, cook, like you know what I, like, mean?") than type LOL after it. She got all offended, but the way things have gotten, LOL should only be used where people nowadays use ROFLMAO.

[pagerbear]

17. Pagerbear is good at lolling

Oh, that's not what you meant, is it?

[On the Road]

8. The Ones I Can't Seem to Remember

[Lautremont]

9. IHTA - I Hate Them All

Especially LOL. And WTF does ROTFL mean? Can't figure that one out.

[vpigrad]

11. Sigh

> And WTF does ROTFL mean?

It means rolling on the floor laughing. Seriously, has anyone ever done that?

[Lautremont]

14. No, they haven't

And thanks for the clarification.

[bif]

12. ROTFLMAO

I don't care for that one.

[Canuckistanian]

30. The same with ROTFLMFAO

[bowens43]

15. Not abbreviations but what I hate is

'prolly' and 'addy'

[pagerbear]

18. I don't new (meaning bad) spellings of words

...like "kewl"

Although I do use "prolly" and "ackshly" from time to time.

[markses]

19. RTFM - Read the Fucking Manual

Um. No. Wait. That's just about obnoxious enough for me to love it, not hate it. RTFM, MF.

[Shananigans]

20. I absolutely HATE it when people use one letter to indicate a word

For example if they say "how r u doing?" instead of "How are you doing?" It drives me crazy and is the epitome of laziness!

[Pithlet]

25. I hate that, too.

But, if someone hunt and pecks very slowly when they type, I can understand why they do it. If you can touch type, there is no excuse.

[St. Jarvitude]

22. Aww, you don't Laugh out Loud from the web?

I dare you to visit Cockeyed.com - Victimless Pranks and not roll on your floor laughing. Best. Website. Ever.

[tilsammans]

23. b/c

. . . instead of "because."

also cant stand it when peeps dont use caps apostrophes punctuation or paragraph breaks dont u hate it too

[daligirrl]

24. I hate

People who think it's cute to type "cum" instead of "come" if they're trying to chat you up. Also, people too lazy to type out Y-O-U.

[SmileyBoy]

26. AFAIK

"As Far As I'm Koncerned..."

:shrug:

[Malikshah]

27. "Know"

AFAIK it's as far as I know. :)

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[Malikshah]

28. I actually went to the site

How freaking bizarre.

So this is what 21st century technology has wrought.

Who will think of the children????:scared:

[Bluebear]

29. People who use initials to appear "in the know"

"Did you see BC at the White House today, HRC was there too, getting their portraits unveiled but when TW told RE to ask questions, MK told them......"

Cliquey? Lazy? I dunno, but it's like deciphering a puzzle. 'LOL!'
