LOL or L.O.L
I think I've really upset her!
Are you sure you've read it correctly?
Yes! She's upset, I'm a bad friend - what should I do?
Hold on, let me have a look at the message - pass your phone over.
OK, here you go.
It says "I'm supposed to be on a diet - don't make me any more delicious cakes ever again..." Ah, I understand now. I don't think your friend is cross with you.
Really, why not?
Look at the text message. Do you see that she has written the letters L.O.L. - or LOL - at the end?
Oh yes! I didn't spot that... L.O.L. LOL. What does that mean?
It's a good example of English 'text speak', that is, language people use when texting, writing emails or talking over the internet. LOL, or L.O.L. stands for 'laughing out loud'. |
