re: #379 Dr Lizardo

About 10 years ago, one of my students asked me, “Say……LOL means lots of love, right?” And I laughed and told her, “No, it means laugh out loud. Why?” She turned white as a ghost and said she’d just sent a text to a friend of hers whose grandmother had just passed away.

Translated into English, it was “Sorry to hear your grandma is gone. LOL”.

Hope she was able to explain that without losing her friend.
