Reading Chatspeak

[chisnpeke]

A mix of A and B.

LOL = el oh el.
BRB = be right back.
LMAO = el em ay oh.
ROFL = are of eff el.

This is the same for me.

B. Read the letters.

LOL IDK BRB
xD
It gets bad though because when I do that I start to say them aloud.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Actually, with lmao, I think of it as "luh-mo" xD

b) i read the letters.

 

[MeanLaureen]

I had to think about this one for a while! I'm weird. For LOL and LOL only, I'm a B. I just read it as letters. For all the other chatspeak that I can think of, I'm an A, I read out the words

 

[valeriesunshine]

lawl.

 

[Ampris]

Definitely C, I've always read them as words, even it comes out, uh, stupid. Lamb-ow, rot-full, zoh-mgh, lohl, etc. Hee. I've wondered how everyone read them, too.

 

[Huit]

Something else. I don't read them as anything. They're like "" and ":-(". I just see them. "Lol" = Amused. "Brb" = They'll be back soon. "OMG" = Something important.
I really need to get off the computer.
...LOL.

 

[HouseMD1120]

All of them. I mostly read the letters, but with some of them or with Disney abbreviations I will read it as it's supposed to be.

LOL- elle oh elle
BRB- be are be
lmao- la mayo
rotfl- rotful
