I hate lol.

I can't recall a time I laughed out loud at something I read on a website. I may express an amused "hmpph" or titter or snicker, but to "laugh out loud" to me indicates a belly laugh or raucous laughter. In an interpersonal exchange a lol would not occur unless the initial statement was outlandishly funny or the followup builds to a laugh out loud.

Point in fact. I was taking my daughter to meet her cousin (who can drive) I asked her(my daughter) to text her location. She replied - example: (the gas station on Fillmore lol). My daughter replied to her "why is that funny?"

Maybe KF for Kinda Funny or MA for Mildly Amusing or MMS for Made Me Smile.

lol has seemed to replace the period for a sentence ender.

Seriously? I laugh out loud literally dozens of times a day from stuff I read online (this is not including videos or stupid pictures, etc).
