This is an appeal to all those happy people in SL... Research has shown that only 60% of people actually laugh out loud when they type LOL. Significantly fewer roll on the floor laughing, approximately 12%, in fact. But, by far the most disturbing trend is the 5% to 6% of the populace that have begun to laugh their asses off. ER rooms have reported a 4 fold increase in instances of Second Life Ass Prosthesis (SLAP). The problem is compounded by huge numbers of people falsely claiming to LMAO & causing a misdirection of essential ass saving resouces. So the next time you read a pithy comment - THINK before you TYPE. It may just save someones ass. (says the worse offender of them all...  ) |

But the more accurate SSBMO (Slight Smile Before Moving On) or CCFBREASHS (Condescending Chuckle Followed By Rolled Eyes And Slow Heavy Sigh) don't have the same ring to them as a hearty LOL.

LASEFOA (laughing at someone elses fallen-off ass) Seriously... where's my ass? Edit: Sorry. It's 8:30pm, I'm still in the office, just guzzled my 100th cup of coffee, was hung-over this morning, and I'm aware that I'm straining the humour

I suggest that we adopt "Quietly Registering Appreciation" (or "QRAp"  , which can used in response to a wider range of statements, in addition to jokes and humorous situtations.

I personally have never typed "LOL" to indicate laughter. I think its silly. I've always preferred to type "haha" for ordinary laughter, or "tee hee" for silly laughter or "muhahaha" for mischievous laughter.
As far as laughing my ass off, I usually type "ouch" for that. Fortunately it rarely occurs.

My first couple weeks here I played two truths one lie and everyone thought "I never use 'LOL' in normal conversation" was the lie  I too prefer 'haha' or 'hehe'. |

yes, I avoid "lol" at all costs. I've been on AOL since 1994-ish, and... ugh... I officially hate almost all computer lingo.
