Something I've been thinking about lately is how do people on Vizzed pronounce LOL? Do you say lawl, lull, or el-oh-el?

I have always pronounced it as "lawl" because it seems the most fluent and smooth to me. It always bugs me when someone pronounces it as el-oh-el. Why not take the shortcut and save your tongue muscles by saying lawl?

So what do you think? How do you pronounce it? Have you always pronounced it that way?

Lawl.
However if I'm joking around with my friends I'll type "lelz" or "lulz" which I guess corresponds to "lells" or "lulls".
Eh, there's so many ways to say lol.
Lol.

Pronouncing it as "lawl" sounds weird to me and my tongue :V I just stick to pronouncing LOL as el-oh-el. I always had ever since I first encountered LOL, though I did try to pronounce it as the other ways once, just felt weird and unnatural to me =3=

TheFadedWarrior : I mostly say el-oh-el because I feel like it is phonetically correct to me with the sounding of it, so until I was first introduced to LOL, I was first introduced to saying it like el-oh-el, so I was conditioned from the start that el-oh-el sounds and is the correct way to say it. I never thought of saying "Lawl" or "Lull", or it never connected to me that you could say el-oh-el as "Lawl" or "Lull" and I was never introduced to "Lawl" or "Lull" in all the years that I have recognized LOL.

I spell it out, like " L - O - L " . It's just how I started saying it, and I doubt I will be able to change that because I have gotten so used to saying it that way.

I've always just, you know, said it as lawl. I might pronounce it as lull, being the I talk and all. Accents are probably a big part in it, as it is a big part in the way everyone says anything. For the most part, like I already said, just "lawl".

That depends what kind of mood I'm in.

If I'm feeling energetic and happy, I'll say it like "lawl". If I'm a bit more serious, though, I'll pronounce it like "lul".

I'm not sure why the pronunciation changes with my mood, but that's pretty much been engraved into my mind for years now.

So..... let me get this straight... do you guys actually say this out loud during conversations?!?!?  If so... just... wow. I don't think I've ever, every done that. I thought this thread was more about how you pronounce it in your head until I started reading the responses.

The idea of people saying "el-oh-el" or "lawl" out loud makes me giggle.

As for me, I've always said 'el-oh-el'.  (You know, in my head.)

I guess I'm just an old fogey.  XD

I read it as el-oh-el. It just makes more sense to me to treat it as an abbreviation rather than a word. I also say ar-oh-ef-el instead of rahful for the abbreviation rofl.

I think 'lawl' in my mind.

It's quicker to read.

If I were to say it in real life, which I would never do, I would go with el-oh-el.

My friends always said ehl-oh-ehl and I was the guy who said lawl. They thought it was stupid and they were like, "It's L-O-L," and I was like, "Say what you want," . Eventually they caught on and suddenly it wasn't so weird that I was saying it like that. What happened to it being stupid, friends? xD
