Zimmer said he likes to think of internet lingo as adding a new tool to better express ourselves online. When we deal with these playful, digital forms of language, Zimmer explained, the rules can be loose; there is no guidebook. OMW — On my way. Skip to content.

Some I can think of are French's "mdr" mort de rire, lit. Though I have seen french people use "lol", it seems to be pretty popular on predominate but more or less international english web sites such as Youtube. There is a river in Japan called "Lol", such this be mentioned?
Lol river Probably not. We don't have and probably wouldn't have an entry for the river. This ain't a word! So this does'nt get to be pronounced.

Shouldn't this fact be mentioned in the article for "lol", lol?

This entry has survived Wiktionary's verification process permalink. Some discussion at Talk:LOL. As I have been poking about looking for cites on this, I was disturbed by the number of articles, etc. Everybody in my age bracket that I have talked to clearly remember LOL meaning "lots of love" - enough that I would consider this widespread usage if the quotes don't cut the mustard. And I think it is important that a dictionary that includes acronyms document that history of the abbreviation we include far more obsolete phrases and words, after all , rather than join into this collective delusion that older people are just idiots who are all somehow guessing that LOL means "lots of love" with no justification.
