| How do you pronounce LOL, ROFL, etc. when you read them? |
|
I used to actually think out the words that each letter represent, but recently, I'm not sure why, I see LOL and I think it as "Lohl". ROFL has become "Row-full".
However, abbreviations without a vowel I still actually think in terms of full words. If I see WTF or BRB, I don't think "W-T-F" or "B-R-B" but "What the fuck" and "Be right back".
The mind's truly an odd thing.

| 2. I didn't mean outloud, I meant just how you interpret them in your thoughts when you see them |
|
I might need to change some wording in the OP to reflect that.
