which internet abbreviation needs to die?

Question

some are ridiculous. it's pure laziness now.

Answer 1

All of them, but especially the lol with a "z" at the end of it (lolz). What the heck is that? Actually, I think we should keep just one and that is "WTF" because I have a gutter mouth & swear all the time.

Answer 2

Most of them originated from IM and a great number of them are not in the mainstream of our communication in other areas, like here for example.
There is a dictionary of terms I think, but to be honest, I haven't used it all that much since whatever is said, I usually can figure out eventually on my own.
I don't know if it is laziness or not, but there is a presumption that we all know what each abbreviation mean, but that is simply not true.

Answer 3

Most (if not all) are ridiculous. Is anyone really in that much of a hurry? If you don't have time to type the entire word/phrase, perhaps you really should not be playing around on im or message boards. Learn to spell.
