Reading the Guardian online today and found out that the acronym "LOL" celebrates it's 25th birthday today. Pointless trivia but the way people communicate has changed a lot in that time.

For all those who love and hate text-speak, It's here to stay. Happy Birthday LOL.

So who loves and hates this text-based Marmite?

I have never used it and never will so "ha" is my substitute and if i "haha" or more Thats really really funny.ha.

.

Does anyone else think is like a laugh but a bit sarcastic the way he's smiling and showing his teeth as much. is more approachcable.

I was pretty much the first person to use it ironically in a forum in 1991.

True story.

As is often the case the Grudian is wrong again First documented computer use of LOL was early to Mid 80's by a bloke called Wayne Peterson, so it's past it's mid 20's by now! BUT before that it has been used in English since the 60's to mean little old lady, in Dutch it's the word Fun, and in Welsh it's the word nonsense. Amazing what Google knows isn't it... how come journalists haven't heard of Google?

I often use it out of habit now, I get accused of being a bit harsh with my online writing.

So good old lol helps me out to show I'm happy ( lol)
