Internet slang has been around a long time, well, almost since Al Gore invented the Internet! Back when it first became cool to type "LOL" instead of laughing out loud. Which got me thinking... how many people ever typed "laughing out loud" anyway? Were they really laughing? Then of course there is the infamous "ROTFL" If you were really rolling on the floor laughing, how did you type it?
And I shouldn't even get started on EMOTICONS :-) ;-)
HASHTAGS? #idontevenknowwhatthismeansbutidoitjusttolookcool
But now we have "ISO", which used to be a term to determine the light sensitivity of film for your camera, but now is "In Search Of".... and "BAE". Shouldn't it be obvious that my wife comes "BAE"? Do I really need to refer to her by the Danish word for poop?
"POTUS"......OMG, even if he is a POS, can't we still respect him and call him the President of the United States? See what I mean?
I guess I am just SMH over how lazy we've become that we can't spell out what we mean!
