LOL

Unless you're 15 and under then I don't think so. Visions of hair tossed back and screaming with laughter as you giggle at the bus stop or pouring over My Space - yes - I get it - but anyone over 45 writing LOL - I don't get it. It's not our language, so we have to find an alternative because our generation using LOL is the cyber equivalent of 'mutton dressed up like lamb', mind you these days with the obesity crisis it's more like mutton dressed up as ham. I don't know what the answer is but it will come to me. We don't want to be digital dinosaurs but we also don't want to be the cyber equivalent of grannies in shorts and high heels.
