A news program on Norwegian channel NRK got a little more than it bargained for last month when its producers needed a graphic for an eye chart.
With just a few letters it stops being a serious report about eyesight and quickly looks just like a night spent playing Battlefield on the PC.

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 8:18 PMPiMan is right. ROFL, LOL and LMAO are extremely common in other countries, and although the others are rarer, they wouldn’t be unheard of.

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 11:00 PMi know heaps of people who thought LOL meant lots of love. eg my mum she always used to finish her texts to me with LOL in her attempts to be that “cool mum” i was very puzzled by it when reading them. “ill pick you up in 10 minutes LOL” me: “Mmmm is she trolling me?”
