A Logical Conclusion of Abbreviation

Attention internet users:  I am about to improve your life by up to 33%.  I understand the need for brevity in your communication;  why type the awkward "laughing out loud" when a simple LOL will suffice?  But why stop there?

In that spirit, I am now announcing the deprecation of LOL in favor of LA, which I shall use exclusively henceforth.  When next your chat buddy amuses you, Laugh Aloud with confidence that not a moment of your time has been wasted thereby.

You're welcome.

my beef with LOL is that people use it thoughtlessly, almost like they're unsure how to punctuate a meandering sentence, so they'll end it with LOL. "are you really laughing out loud? was that thought really that funny?"

same with trailing ellipses all over the place - pet peeve-o-rama and pure typing laziness.

bizarre, your comment counts on the homepage aren't incrementing, but comments are showing on individual posts.

Yeah, for some reason there's a delay in the comment count being updated.
