Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

    I hate “lol” as punctuation. If you’re legitimately laughing out loud, fine. But, I really hate:

    “can I show u something lol”

    “I gave it to David lol”

      Then you’re gonna hate my use of “lololol” instead of “hahahah”, both of which i use essentially interchangeably in texts.

        That’s a bit annoying, but at least it represents laughing. What I hate is when it’s just used to “lighten the mood” and doesn’t represent laughing at all.

        And, the proper way is “jajajaja”, as my Spanish-speaking friends have taught me.

      If it’s coming out of a teenager… passable.

      If it’s coming out of an adult… please act your age.
