Does it count that I actually say lol in spoken conversation? I pronounce it laul and not lole. I know a loler though...

Do you guys remember when lol was the response you would receive to a message? I wonder when we started switching to saying it on the end of our sentences?

I remember when people would text it to me and it would cost 10-25 cents to receive...

Think it's cause I'm a slow texter but I've never had the issue. Might also just be due to a lot online chats not really using it anymore.

I'm a millennial and I've always preferred to say haha since like the last year or two of msn. Think I last used lol when I had a T9 phone

I never do that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I don't think I've ever done that. I've always used normal punctuation, except for in my teens, where we all used ellipsis (…) at the end of every sentence to indicate that more was coming. ICQ was the shit. Messaging apps even copied this by adding a bouncing ellipsis when you're typing. Maybe that's why we stopped using it.

🙋‍♂️ Better than all of Gen Z's slang, though.

As a millennial, I think most of Gen Z slang is amazing, they got us beat imo
