What Did You Say?

Anyone who has used a computer or sent a text message has seen them. Abbreviations of words, condensed into internet slang. It's become the jargon of the teen movement these days, and eerily enough, of several of my peers. You know what I'm talking about, the terms that were created as a way of saving keystrokes at the computer. Most of us are guilty of using them in some form, whether it be on the computer or in a text message. Which is where they belong. Not in face to face conversation. The other day I actually heard someone say LOL out loud, as if laughing at the comment would have rendered him speechless. Really? SMH. No names will be called, but I think perhaps this person has been spending too much time in front of a computer monitor and not enough RT interaction with the human race. BTW, I've seen this same person send a text message without even looking at the phone. And while I envy his mad texting skills, I can't help but think that he needs to step AFK and get some help.

Now, if anyone needs me, I'm going to watch a movie that will hopefully have me ROFL. But first I need to get a snack. BRB.
