LOL (also spelled lol) is an abbreviation for "laugh out loud", "laugh out loud", or less commonly "lots of laughter" or "lots of laughs". LOL is a common element of Internet slang used, historically, on Usenet. It is similar to the acronyms "lmao" (laughing my *** off) and "rofl" (rolling on the floor laughing), which are used to communicate a higher degree of amusement. LOL can be pronounced phonetically as "lawl." Many people are critical of "LOL" and its related acronyms and there is widespread controversy over their use. Lacetti, professor of humanities at Stevens Institute of Technology, and Molsk predict reduced chances of employment for students who use such acronyms, stating that "Unfortunately for these students, their bosses will not be 'lol' when they read a report that lacks proper punctuation and grammar, has numerous misspellings, various made-up words, and silly acronyms." Clarke, in her analysis of telnet talkers, states that capitalization is important when people write "LOL", and that "a user who types LOL may well be laughing louder than one who types lol", and opines that "these standard expressions of laughter are losing force through overuse". Crystal notes that use of "LOL" is not necessarily genuine, posing the rhetorical question "how many people are actually 'laughing out loud' when they send LOL?".
