Help! I keep coming across secret, coded messages in many of your posts. Wish I knew what you were talking about! I've worked out ROFL (I think) but all the others baffle me. Even LOL has me stumped - and that appears everywhere. I thought it might be 'laughed out loud' or 'loads of love' but it crops up in places where neither of those would fit. Anyone like to enlighten me please? (Sorry - it's taken years of practise to get this stupid :-[)
You are not alone ! An internet language has grown up using acronyms, see this link to explain more ...

ROFL = rolling on floor laughing
LOL = laughing out loud
Hope this helps ... :)

Ha ha Eric ... :D
Whoops, I Deleted it as it said the same as Derek's answer.
OMG theres so many!
I thought LOL meant Lots of Love & used it as such....on a letter of condolences I'd mailed someone :-[
You're not alone Grandma,

TYVM - all of you.
Just looked at the link and - my word! - that's an eye-opener! :o ROTFLACGU. Where have I been all my life? Going to have to be very careful though - in places just one letter wrong and I could be in deep shot.
you might find this amusing ...

Yes, Lishka - being a Grandma is the greatest thing. Even makes all the years of being a Mum worth all the effort! ;)
Thanks Derek. I'm sure I'd find it amusing too - if I knew what I was supposed to do with it. I did just tell you I was stoopid, din I? ???

Yeah! Makes you forget the stress times.....and the grands are the reward that makes it all worthwhile 8) Love it ;D
Just for information, thats all. I found it amusing that there are so many variations on the basic ROFL ...
