"lol" or "lawl"?

**slayer** · 12-28-2008 05:14 AM

Which do you think is quicker to type, "lol" or "lawl"?

I, for one, think "lol" is quicker to type.

**Bearsy** · 12-28-2008 05:20 AM

lol lawl

both took the same time

I use them in different context though..

lol is just a passing little giggle or a "Heh" and a smile.
lawl is like a legit laugh out loud.

I hate public polls.

lawl is quicker for me to type. In the time it takes me to type two l's, I can easily sneak in the "aw" with my other hand. However, for lol, that's two l's, separated by moving the "l" finger up to the "o" resulting in three key strokes from the same finger, instead of just two.

If you pause after the l, to make your other hand type the aw, and then go back to the l, I could see lol being faster. But try typing out a few lawl lawl lawl lawl's and lol lol lol lol's in a row, and then decide. I will admit that my right ring finger isn't the fastest.

I love a guy who studies lawlology. <3

I prefer ROFLMAOOL, it's faster.

**eppy** · 12-28-2008 06:26 AM

you forgot "lulz" and "lul"

**Mes Tarrant** · 12-28-2008 06:37 AM

I'm a dork but this reminds me of SomeGuy... "I PREFER UP THANX FOR ASKING"

**Tarsier** · 12-28-2008 07:28 AM

I think lol has more character.

**Shift** · 12-28-2008 08:49 AM

I'm telling you. 'lawl' gets the wave of movement. 'lol' requires the staccato three key bounces. Lawl is way faster. In the time that your right ring finger has to move to hit the 'l' key twice, you've already hit a and w and that same finger is on its way back down again. Unless you type like RL Stein. In which case you shouldn't be typing anyway!

Lol and "lawl" is the difference between your average member and Mark75. In case you are wondering.... that's a huge difference. Mark75 has been more often than not caught using Lulz so I am going to assume based on the status of Mark75 that Lulz is far superior than it's counterparts lol and lawl. A far superior hybrid if you will.

**Maeni** · 12-28-2008 02:46 PM

lol - that's funny.
lulz - that's kinda funny, but I don't give a shit.
LOL - I laughed/almost laughed IRL.
lawl - that's funny, but I've already said "lol" a few times.
rofl - I laughed IRL.
lmao - fukken epic

I only really use "lawl" and "LOL" .. lol is outdated.

You guys have failed to accommodate dvorak keyboard users. For shame.

That's weird, because SomeGuy reminds me of a dork. Interesting.
