I might be willing to chortle a bit. We'll have to wait and see about the glee.

Still not sniggering, though.

Oh, hell. Chortle is the one I was trying to think of. Brain stopped working for a second. Isn't Chortle also a Pokemon?

Oh Bruce. Bruce you hurt my eyes and tainted LOL forever.

DanaC · 08-03-2009, 06:58 AM

Oh and just for the record:

lol

Should I do it? Should I rise tothe defence of the poor beleaguered 'lol' whose service over the last couple of decades has been tireless ?

Yeah. I think I mentioned already that i still use and still intend to use 'lol'. It's morphed y'see. I don't look at a 'lol' and translate it in my head to 'laugh out loud.' At least not most o fthe time. I see it and read it as 'lol' which has in and of itself taken on the quality of expressed laughter. It's become a word in itself which instantly brings to mind the look and feel of a laugh. To my mind...and this might seem slightly ridiculous and I am damned sure I can't actually explain why this is so...it looks like a laugh. The shape of it looks like a laugh.

It doesn't really irritate me that the person at the other end of that visual cue, in the fleshworld, may not be laughing audibly. They are laughing out loud to me in this world.

It is as expressive in my mind, and varied, as any person's laugh might be. Sometimes that 'lol' dropped in places about a reply are so clearly an almost nervous or apologetic laugh (usually to be found in the peace section of the Cellar's war and peace cycle

that they either serve their function of dispelling tension or they fail in that and underline it, in exactly the same way the real laugh might.

Someone gets pwned in an argument and responds with LOL ... doesn't that just sound like a forced laugh?

Other times I see it distributed through someone's response and it just fits a sense of overall merriment and enthusiasm.

very much like smileys. It is a symbol and therefore has gained meaning in its own right.
