Before you type the letters “LOL” ask yourself the following:
- Am I actually “laughing out loud”?
- Does it makes any sense at all to insert “LOL” before or after whatever random thing I’m posting on twitter, tumblr, or (the bag of dumbassery that is) facebook?
- Am I doing this right? Is this proper usage of this fake word?
- Am I over age 19?
- Have I used this silly expression over 3 times today?
And then STOP. Don’t do it. Do not “LOL”. Back away from the key board, put down your cell phone and just stop.
