I read it lol. It has become a word for me. Not only for me I guess. It stopped being the abbreviation for laughing out loud for me a long time ago. I would never write laughing out loud. It's ridiculous. But lol is a cool word. If I want to show I'm laughing I write xD. I see many people writing :D instead, but I think that's a stupid smiley. Look, I watched a bunch of little hummingbirds taking a bath. It's just lol. Not laughing out loud. It's not funny. It's cute and kinda weird. Weird in a funny way. But not laughing funny. Lol is a very good word.
