LOL

I wrote an email to a colleague at work the other day in which I made a facetious comment, punctuated with "LOL".

Later, she asked me what "LOL" meant. I was shocked that anyone who uses a computer and email didn't know that. She thought it stood for "loser" something or other and was relieved to hear that it means "laugh out loud". LOL.

Yesterday, I told that same colleague that she was being "snarky"... and then had to explain that one to her too.

Hmm, even though she is only in her early 50s, I was definitely feeling a generation gap there.
