Tep, using LOL as punctuation is a first ammendment RIGHT!! Why do you hate America LOL????
At -- I think -- Shakesville, some troll commented with "LOL your fat" (lack of punctuation and incorrect word usage are as posted), which led people to ask things like "Uh, *how* do I LOL my fat? Is there a special technique?"
Stephanie, I usually open that kind of thing like, "You are probably already aware of this..." even if I think they aren't. Possibly I'm wrong, but I think that takes away the potential stupid-calling.
"I have freedom of speech so if I want to use RAPE then I'll use RAPE as often as I want and I don't care if you don't like it when I say RAPE. LOL!"
I actually imagine her yelling "ELL OH ELL!" in the same tone as RAPE. As if it were the exclamation point at the end of the sentence.

So yesterday, I lost several hours worth of work because the Word document I had entered it into mysteriously disappeared.
The good news: it became apparent as soon as I signed in this morning that the problem was with Word and not something I failed to do, so I could stop kicking myself.
The bad news: the firmwide IT person who tried to help me this morning not only didn't fix it before she gave up and tossed it to the local IT people, but also managed to delete Word from my system entirely, which took the local IT people well over an hour to figure out, and then they had to bounce it back to the firm wide IT department, so I haven't even been able to start trying to make up the hours I lost.
