OMG! LOL's in the OED. LMAO!

The internet acronym LOL (laugh out loud) has now entered the Oxford English Dictionary.

Those of us who are able to refrain from laughing out loud, use the same acronym to mean ‘lots of laughs’, notwithstanding that ‘lots’ is a word best avoided amongst language purists.

Writers of a more romantic disposition prefer it to mean ‘lots of love’.
