Pronunciation of "lol"

TK-421 · 09-22-2010, 01:59 AM

When I say it (usually in my head when reading a text) I say "lawl" like it's a word and not an acronym

I pronounce it el oh el, so it's not an acronym for me anyways, it's an initialism.

it's like "WTF". You either decode as "what the fuck" or read out each letter "W.T.F."
