I really didn't realise I used "laugh out loud"!!
Don't you mean FFS?
oh - thought that was lots of love

Well, this was only ever going to go one way.
In the spirit of obligatory STW (oops) pedantry I'd point out that these are all initialisms, not acronyms.
HTH.
WTF OMG LOL

I've just been having that argument with a friend on WhatsApp! Laugh Out Loud!
Ooooh, can we ban onomatopoeia too?
My new word for today!
Why would you want to ban that? It means exactly what it sounds like.

It's almost as if it was deliberate...

How did you do that? Unicode?
Actually, there's an easier way.

I blame Mumsnet for the multiplicity of acronyms and the resulting syntactical inexactitude.

I think you created a singularity there!

At least they have an FAQ.
?NRATS
Cougar - does that mean they have a (single) frequently asked question; shirley if they have multiple questions you should refer to FAQs.
Standards are slipping; more inexactitude.
The "Q" is short for "questions." It's not a FyAdQs list.
Though I'll grant you, "FAQ list" may have been more grammatically accurate.
?NRATS
Ah, it's the "I" that's on the wonk. Which is what I did, only in a much more trivial manner.
Yeah, but it took only a few seconds to spot what you did by copying and pasting and I can do this:
[code]?BTL[/code]
😉
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
I'm waiting for the next lexicographical masterpiece to be posted.
Don't look to me - I just use big(ly) words.

Sometimes you wear the forum, sometimes the forum wears you.
(Five Cougar Points to whoever gets that one.)

That's good. Had a chuckle to myself there. Must remember to proof read more/better too. 😀

Is that a Trump quote?
I object to lol, on the basis that it's very likely not accurate.
I propose we move to mas (mildly amused smirk).
