I hadn’t thought of that. To me, it’s more about the very obvious irony of letter formation - which only occurs in WRITING, not texting or typing of any sort - is used on a shirt that’s supposed to be about texting/netspeak.
It’s sad that because since I now type so much more than I write, my already atrocious handwriting has become even more illegible. More than half the time, I can’t read my own handwriting! It probably doesn’t help that I got my first computer at age 7.
Although, I find myself saying L-O-L aloud now and again. The others I have never said abbreviated, but ‘lowel’ - probably a couple times a month. hides
I also say ‘FAIL’ on a near-daily basis. Clearly, I spend far too much time online.
