YoTeAmo I'm sure that you've all had to read instant messages or text messages. I'm ok with a few of the codes like "POS" which stands for "Parents over shoulder" because, obviously, the person who typed the message couldn't exactly type that out. However, the tolerance ends when people start saying instant messaging words. I nearly died about a week ago when a boy in my algebra class actually said "L-O-L" which was followed by "O-M-G-W-E". I personally thought he sounded very unintelligent. You know you have lost brain cells from typing "IM" words when you begin to say them. I was actually confused with what he had said even though I have been reading my friend's conversations, which are all written in "IM" words sadly, for years. I've never actually heard someone say those words before that day. What are your thoughts about "text" or "IM" talk? Decoding: Lol--Laught out loud. Omg w/e--Oh my gosh! Whatever!
WHen my friends and I use them, its usually for the humor factor that its rediculous to say them in real life. We all know what the letters mean, what the person means to say, why they said it, and see the humor in it as well.
Mostly though, we will use the LOL, WTF, and OMG. Of course, we all know it isnt proper to use them in regular speech, but thats why we use them, because it is funny just using them.
Its not ebcause we use them to substitute what we mean. Its for the humor of it.

XxJennessaxX rae-chan-sensei YoTeAmo I'm ok with a few of the codes like "POS" which stands for "Parents over shoulder" because, obviously, the person who typed the message couldn't exactly type that out. And here I thought "POS" stood for "piece of s**t"... rolleyes Ooh, good one! rofl Click
...No, that's seriously the only way I've ever seen it used. But then again, when I actually used to use instant messangers my friends and I were all old enough to not need constant parental supervison, so it's probably just something I never came across.
