To be honest, I dont think the whole-- LOL, ROFL, LMAO, STFU stuff is such a huge deal. It's just an easier way to say something.
Even if someone isn't LITERALLY laughing their ass off, its just an expression. I don't know why everyone is getting so hung up over this. How people talk online doesn't bother me (unless they cap. every other letter In A WoRd LiKe ThIs. That's awful!)
It's how people talk in the real world that really bothers me.
When I see people confusing their/there it bothers me. When I see people confusing you're/your it bothers me. When I see people confusing than/then... I worry. It's scary. English isn't my first language and even I'm not making any of those ridiculous mistakes.
The US needs better teachers. This is just sad. It gets so scary that sometimes I have to laugh it off.
