Default re: lol - Why it needs destroying
But why lol?

Why not (as Miss Sparkle puts it so well) "haha" or "heh"...or, on the really rare occasions that something *actually* does make you laugh out loud, "man that was funny, it made me laugh out loud!"

If it were to be spelled out each time, people would notice how bloody stupid it looks, but to them it is a lazy way of punctuating sentences.
