Laugh out loud?



LOL is rampantly overused in instant messaging and e-mail. I think it should really be reserved for when you actually laugh out loud. It's a close cousin to people saying "that's funny" after you tell a joke. If it is actually funny, the correct response is to laugh.

I don't want to be the new wierd guy who posts a lot of things that don't make sense. But, I agree that it's overused. Just like this is thing :) is overused. I'm not even sure I understand what it means.
I'm tired of it. I think there should be a quota.
