ending all sentences in 'lol' to defuse any potential for people to take them seriously and gloss over the lack of emotive affect in a textual medium, lol

lol i was just reading back over a conversation with my sister and trying to figure out how we're using the word 'lol' because it sure as hell isn't to mean we're laughing

@chr I saw "Lol." (written like this) in a NYTimes (or was it BBC) piece last week. It's the kind of thing etymologists will use when validating the formal use of the word in a dictionary 100 years from now.

My mother-in-law thinks "LOL" means "lots of love." It is a little disconcerting when she texts the wife and says "Uncle SoAndSo died today LOL."

@chr really the only good use of 'lol' tbh. I haven't ever seen anyone use it in the literal meaning

@chr
