i don't know why i have spurts of funny hatred when i see a use of the word 'lol'.

i am still comfortable with LMAO, OMG, WTF but its the 'lol' people use when it is least expected......rather it least fits.

LOL as i know is abbreviation of

"laugh out loud" (most common)

"lots of luck" or "lots of love" (less common--infact non-existant)

Now, if somebody cracks an awesome joke...and people use this word to express their hearty laugh,its still ok.

But these days its being plain overdone, i'll give you some good examples;

it was my first rollercoaster ride, it was awesome lol..

lol..my cousin kicked the sh*t outta me

it was my uncle's funeral ..lol..

eeew .. i forgot...its your birthday lol

SORRY..LOL!!

lol..you are funny!

omg , i gtg srry....catch'ya later lol..

if somebody is so amused by such crap that he/she feels like laughing so bad...i feel that person's got to be the biggest loser around.

and if 'lol' in itself was not enough for some people they invented similar words - 'lolz' or lolzz or lolzzz (add more z's to make it stronger)

wtf is lolzzzzz? -'lots of laughs and then suddenly dozing off?" Thank heavens keyboards don't have feelings!

just wanted to share this thing with you guys. how do you all feel?

sorry if i offended some 'lollers'!

PEACE
[Off-topic] Rudegar:
yeah the

"lol it's jesus"

jokes really show how language can be turned into the enemy of all living things :P

but then guess older people have always felt that the younger crowd abuses the language
[Off-topic] kdskamal:
LOL! :D

Coming to the point, yeah, its annoying these days. People use the word 'LOL' just for no reason. I cannot figure out, if it makes them feel that they're cool.

Also, people also seem to use 'LMAO' for no reason! Do they really 'laugh their ass off'? *no*
[Off-topic] mariner_heart:
and i am so proud that i've never used this damn word in my general english except for when i talk about it being a symbol of "wannabes"

and i won't use it until somebody points a gun at my head and tells me to type 'lol'

.......and i'll feel like such a loser afterwards!

and yes- i am don't contribute to younger crowd spoiling the language as i am myself 20 years of age!
[Off-topic] flykthewiz:
lol to me has always meant and always will mean "lots of love."

so when i see it all over the place, i just think "what a lovely world it is that we live in, all this love around in the air"

:)
[Off-topic] chunkymonkey:
Aye, I thought the same and thus used it at the end of some SMSs, etc. when it simply wasn't appropriate according to what the recipient understood it to mean.

A lass I was very much into some years back thought I was slightly making fun of her as I ended most of my SMS with lol and she eventually asked why I always thought that fairly innoccuous remarks warranted laughing out loud at the end.

Naturally, I felt a right Herbert. Since then I've only used it in the way everyone else does. Not that I use a lot of abbeviations anyway: I tend to punctuaute SMSs or any other messages in the normal way, not least because I used to be a grammar teacher.

Penny for your thoughts

I think that there is so much shorthand that people place into what they write, that even this generation has forgotten to even spell the very words! "lol" is so misused, as well as things like "4, lmao, (and what ever else is out there!!)", (show how behind the times i am!!!) If there was not the bulk of the SMS (Short messaging Services) out there, maybe people might be able to write correct!!! Well, that is just my thought...
[Off-topic] flykthewiz:
is that "write correct" or "write correctly" :)
[Off-topic] Chainfire:
"lol is lol", is lol. (LOL!)

To freely use an acronym, a Dutch word and a Welsh word, in an English sentence.

Seriously though: I mind these words in certain situations. If you are chatting with someone over the computer, using IRC or instant messaging or whatever, words like LOL and such can be used. Now and then in a forum post is ok. Using it in spoken language is a definite no! What bothers me a lot more is the more random abbreviations of other words user by everybody all over the place. If it's not worth to spell out, it's quite likely not worth saying in the first place.

[Off-topic] jadephyre:
hmm... i got nothing against "lol" if it's used in chatrooms (IRC and stuff like that) but i think it really doesn't belong in a Forum... a place where you CAN take your time writing a reply, not unlike in IRC where you have to react instantaneously and are more inclined to just type "lol" than elaborate that you are laughing.

It's equally annoying when i see kids tranferring "lol" from the virtual to real word, using it instead of REALLY laughing... that is were proper usage line of "lol" drops instantly.

Now i've said "kids" use this frequently... having noticed that, i reminded myself that i'm just 26 years old... and yet, i feel like an oldtimer when i hear kids speak these days.

[Off-topic] Isaygarcia:
i think this:

this is a programmers (developers, etc) community, we should use this word?

oh but realize that you are not at work. you are in a community..

and actually you can laugh but nobody will hear you, if you use LOL you are doing 3 things:

1. Expressing the Laugh

2. Saving space on the post when you are lauching and you want to express it.

3. Saving time (it takes more time to write "Im laughing out louder" than writing just LOL)

: )

ok..

i really use more smileys made with letters : ) xD!

but LOL!! LOL!! all time!!

The non speaking native members of XDA not all of them (Including me of course) understand all that strange terms, some of them has become international as LOL but other ones like LMAO, etc are unknown (At least for me)

Being on this site for a long time makes you understand a few more about this strange and deforming terms of the languaje (And we can´t say ohh I typed OMG because I don´t have time to type Oh My God)

Just my opinion

[Off-topic] galaxys:

[Off-topic] lennie:
I understand your point but you have to understand that the meaning of some words changes over time, you have no power over that processs. eg, the word "gay" do you remember one time it meant "happy"? now what's the meaning of it?

its the same with lol, it moves from just meaning laugh-out-loud to something more like smiling.

"lol..my cousin kicked the sh*t outta me"

becomes "smiling..my cousin kicked the sh*t outta me" or something along that line.

OK mister language critic, it is not "non-existant" it is non-existent.

but thats that. I don't see why you're so up about it though, it how someone wants to use it. I use it that way too. a person doesn't have to laugh out loud to use lol, it could be a chuckle, a smile, or something like that, (thats how i use it anyway).

but a language is a point of comunication, and language changes, so don't be so hard on someone for using it the way the know it.

but to tell you the truth, I originally thought lol meant lots-of-laugh. so thanks for the info, lol.

(just did the last lol to drive you crazy, lol)
[Off-topic] kdj67f:
The whole "lol" misuse issue has prompted me to use newer, more appropriate terms like "pip" which stands for "piss in pants". Or, when making jokes at those who type in tech forums like they text their girlfriends I ususally type, "I just lolz'd!!11!" or something to that nature.

Never forget when quoting to miss a few shift keystrokes and add the !!!11! to the end of what ever you say. It really gets the point across.

And always feel free to make up your own to confuse those people when you are trying to communicate with them, like throw in a "IJSM!!11!" (I just shat myself) or a "ROTFLMAOBYHNFC!!11!" (rolling on the floor laughing my ass off because you have no f***ing clue)

Makes for good conversation when you have to explain yourself! :D

Overall has great screen quality for the price! Display can adjust to an exceptionally dim level, but maximum brightness isn't too impressive (though what can you expect from an ips screen?).

[Touch Cruise General] X-Kent:
I read about that new A2DP functionality for music so I got some interesting idea about turning my TC to a car mp3 player. My TC has 8gb so it's cool to have such amount of music in car without need to change discs or something.

There are new car cd players that support bluetooth, my question is how all this stuff works together ? Has anyone tried ? Is it comfortable at it's current state ? I mean will it connect automatically and will the cd player controls work to browse the music stored on TC or will I need to use the TC to navigate songs(less comfort while driving)... What about sound quality, is A2DP provides good sound ? What should I expect from such a setup ?

I would answer half of the question myself only If I would already have the bluetooth supported cd player, but my one doesn't support it :-( so I am thinking about a replacement and will it be worth or not.
[Touch Cruise General] alanwesty:
I use my Tytyn2 for this purpose with a pioneer B65 Head unit. The quality is good enough for a car considering the background noise and far superior to using a FM transmitter. You will have to use the TC to control the tracks and the display on the head unit does not show track info.
[Touch Cruise General] X-Kent:
Doesn't seems to be comfortable solution then... There is no interface that will allow head unit to control it ? :-((... Anyone else tried this ?
[Touch Cruise General] wonderiuy:
I use a Jabra BT320S to hear music in car using the line in of my head unit. Sound is good and obviously i have the TC to control the music. SOme programs have very finger friendly buttons. I'm very happy
[Touch Cruise General] wywywywy:
This is the solution you are looking for.

Get a headunit with a USB port, such as this Kenwood. http://www.bassjunkies.com/index.php?pid=33470&show=expand_image

Install WM5torage on the PDA, and set it up so that the PDA appears as a mass storage device.

Plug the PDA into the headunit with a USB cable.

The headunit should now see the tracks in the memory card of the PDA.

Hope this helps.
