O M G do I hate internet shorthand! I actually got a letter from a friend - hand written, in an envelope, stamped and then watermarked by the post office. The first sentence ended with "LOL" in big cursive letters.
Immediately, I thought OMFG, my BFF is FUBAR and if she ever SMS's me again I will make certain she RIPs! Then she proceeded to give me TMI on the QT and actually drew in emoticons. A bit further on down in the letter I got a LMFAO that made me want to shoot her in the head.
I used to think that little acronyms were cute. You know, back in the days of SWAK (sealed with a kiss) of SWALCAKWS (sealed with a lick cause a kiss won't stick). Unfortunately, this world has become one acronym after another. It is so acronym filled that I rarely know what people are saying online anymore. That's fine with me. I really don't want to know what the Paris Hilton generation is talking about. Really, I don't. That generation is one big SNAFU.
