A friend sent this really interesting piece to my mail, you know, just when i was thinking i had had enough of abbreviations like LOL and LMAO, this dropped from the sky. I was thinking that since the world was becoming so IT invovled and fast paced, we might as well adopt some of these technological slangs into everyday use. Like if i heard a joke, instead of wasting all the time laughing in complex sounds, i could simple just say "Oh, that was funny, lol, lol." See?
READ AND ENJOY:
