Bugged

This has been bugging me for ages. It's the fault of the Typing-Everything-Out-Correctly Police and I would like them to please show up right here right now and EXPLAIN THEMSELVES.

So. OK. I want someone to explain to me what's wrong with LOL.

I often read things on t' internet that make me laugh out loud. And I want the writer to know this. But they can't hear me laugh, can't see me smile. So how do I tell them? Yeah, I could write it out in longhand, "that just made me laugh out loud" but why bother when there's a perfectly acceptable shorthand available?

Next thing you'll be telling me I can't write "you'll" or "can't" or "didn't" because I should be writing these things out in full.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ABBREVIATIONS, PEOPLE! THEY'RE VERY USEFUL!
