Millennials were ABSOLUTELY all about the lols, I can assure you. It was the most widely used acronym everywhere (second being brb, I would wager).

We roflcopter'd and roflmao'd with the best of em! lol

It's pretty common with millenials at least

I used/use it a lot, became the standard when I was on AIM.

Mostly I feel people use it for tone and switch between the two. Then again I also respond with k too often apparently and have had spouses bring it up to me. "I'm going to pick up hot dog buns on the way home" k is apparently not always the proper response to such things apparently.

K, lol, cool/kool, alright, nice, oh... Apparently make up a lot of what she calls my NPC responses.

It's not that I don't care, it's that there really isn't a reason for me to send a flushed out response while I'm in a rush and or trying to respond at a red light. I'll see them soon, if i thought something else should be picked up at the store when they were there id either say so or call if I thought it warranted a quick discussion.

If I ask do you want tacos, sure is a perfectly valid response, we've shared a bed for 5 years.. if I don't know what you do and don't like on a taco I wasn't paying attention, if you want something you usually wouldn't, then it makes sense to say more

I'm a millennial and I use lol way too often to start or end messages

1987 as well... i just never caught on to the acronyms.

BTW love the whole C&C franchise

Ope... i said BTW.. guess I contradicted myself. Oops.

Same.

'haha' is more polite/cordial, more passive and may indicate essentially nervous laughter

'lol' is more blunt/informal, more aggressive and may potentially indicate mockery
