Is anyone sick of people using acronyms for everyday speech?
I am not just refering to this site or other forum sites but pretty much everywhere, including every day writings as well as college writing. Is anyone else absolutely sick of all the shorthanded writing like LOL, or OMG as much as I am? Is it wrong to complain when morons use this form of writing? Lastly, is it wrong to not take these idiots seriously when they write here asking for help?
I am a twenty-nine year old male who decided that working in a factory isn't my life's dream so I decided to go back to school to improve my skills. However, in my advance writing class, I am always seeming to correct this short handed speech and I am absolutely sick of seeing it. Is it so hard to write out the words in everyday writing instead of breaking it down to a few letters?
Acronyms like LOL, OMG and the like, what the hell do those even mean? Don't answer, after asking I found out. However, writing "laugh out loud" in writing doesn't make much sence and it just makes you look stupid. It is very hard to take you serious when it looks like your an uneducated, imbesol. By seeing these in your writing, its hard to offer any advice at all.
Well, does anyone agree with me or am I wrong? Please, in any responce back, leave the dumb acronyms out as I will not even pay attention to your comments.

anyways, we only live once and time goes fast so why not abbrieveate things? its not that big of a deal in a non formal setting.
if your writing your resume or college acceptance letter then obviously refreign from LOL.
there is a time and place for everything right?
you might say 'why not type in my opinion?' but that would be pointless and inefficient, particularly as it's one of a clutch of regularly used stock phrases used as tools in this way, and no more information is contained in the 13 character version than the 3 character version.
personally i think there's a kind of beauty to the way that that much information is condensed down to 3 phonetic characters.
Its a form of art anyway. Recently, a meme has spread around me where 'cba' is actually shortened to 'ceebs', when spoken out loud.
