Please. Stop. Using. LOL.
I think people are starting to become brainwashed by this instant plug-in. You see it spammed everywhere, in every sentence, even when its not neccessary at all.
"The funerals on monday lol"
And "lol" is not a reply.
Nor is ":)"
or ":D"
Or any other smiley. Do not expect a reply from me if you do this. Unless I want to get in your pants.
