Thought about that :) Apparently plain LOL became so commonplace that people don't even mean it when they write it. Hence the need to let someone know that you A LOLd

Because when someone writes "lol" I dont think they are really laughing. The extra "A" validates it

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

A stands for actually.

I'll take credit for first use on ddf unless someone proves otherwise.
