Is "lol" way over used on Yahoo! Answers?

YES - it is way overused... to the point that it doesn't mean what it originally did anymore. And it is not just here, but everywhere on the internet. It seems that it now more means, "oops, I hope that didn't p**** you off, but I said it anyway". And yes, it does seem to dominate the younger generation, and females in general. NETS on this subject.....:)

lol, i don't think it's overused on yahoo! answers...

i'm a teen, and it is way overused on aim... usually i use it if i have nothing else to say... or if something is actually funny. but yeah i laugh a lot though.

and it's not just ditzy girls who use it... (ditzy girls really get on my nerves) pretty much everyone under... 18 uses it.

well if you're typing & you actually laugh to yourself, you kind of want to give the question or answer the spirit that it was written in ('cause lots of times things can be taken the wrong way during typing w/o non verbal cues or tone).

that being said, it's annoying. we should find another phrase 'cause i keep thinking of lollipops.

lol is over used not only on Y/A, but in e-mail, snail mail, inner office memos, and church bulletins. It really get to be irritating.

I think everyone on here uses lol way too much... I dont know why. I guess its just compulsive. Who knows. Maybe it is habit.

I'm 25 and use it. i don't think of my self as a ditsy girl---far from it but i think its just a way to say"hmmm, what you said was amusing" but in a short and sweet way. if you wouldn't use lol or lmao what would you use???

"lol" is way overused on most internet media. No one laughs that much.
