Laziness and lack of regard for the English language.

Typing LOL is much faster than typing ROFL or writing out the words "thats funny" or anything other way.
I mean, there are just three letters and they are right next to each other. Quick and simple.
And also a way of keeping the convosation going.

LOL is used Because the "R" on the keyboard is further from the "L" and the "O"

Ha Ha...well that is not ther reason why I use LOL the most, but I like to use different ways of expressing my "laughter"

I mean..someone can just say LOL even if something is not funny....but putting an exlamation point in the end ( ex: LOL!! )
makes it seem like what was "said" was really funny.

First of all, your getting too carried away over a abbreviation, and don't need to be rude to the people that do use it, it's there choice, and you can't stop them! (I do not use any of those abbreviations, like lol).
An why they use it is, a for example is if your Instant Messaging someone, well they might say something funny, and so show your thought it was funny you could say LOL! Because most people are too lazy to spell it out.

Chatting, Texting, and e-mail has changed the way people write to make it easier and interesting in a way. Haha. Anyway ppl use "lol" instead putting laughing just for something new and dats life and everyone has a different way of talking and writing.Peace and love.

LOL... you're question is so funny you have me laughing out loud!
Just kidding.. I guess most people type in lol because it becomes a habit.. usually when I type in lol I'm not literally laughing out loud..
