Reading Abbreviations...

[Zenny]

Just out of curiousity of how many do and don't. Cause I read things one way and a friend reads it the other. So heres the question.

When you are reading and lets say "lol" or "brb" comes up, do you:
A.) Read it like it's spelt "lol" and "brb"
B.) Read out the words for the abbreviation "laugh out loud" and "be right back"

With me I'm a "B" dunno why, maybe it's like a righty or lefty thing, tall or short, smart or dumb, etc...

[BUGGER]

b

tho the only one i might say how its spelled is rofl....i dunno, it sounds kinda like a bigass laugh...

[Arakiel]

If you actually say 'ell oh ell' instead of actually laughing.. wow :P

[BUGGER]

som1s name might be ell

I read the lettlers of it, but say in my mind what it means. Im also the kind of guy thats uses BRB in real life. sometimes I say afk when I go get a soda or something to my parents.
but thats only cause im so damn l33t

[Jaged]

For lol, I say "ell oh ell" sometimes and lol sometimes. I always say brb as "bee are bee" (well sometimes I say brb to be wierd.)

[Recster]

A and B

depending on the Abbreviation I will read it out or just read it as is. "lol" for instance I read as is but "brb" I read as be right back.

[Ivan]

[Onizuka]

In 10 years computers will control everything and we will all be talking like that in real life.
