Daily Lift - OMG! FWIW, DEGT (BIL)* (The Wall Street Journal, 6 August 2009)
Do you receive e-mails, text messages, and tweets filled with acronyms you can't decipher? You're not alone; some companies now hire teenagers and young adults to teach their employees information-age shorthand. Make sure your Internet lingo oblivion doesn't lead to a virtual foot-in-mouth comment, like one woman who thought LOL meant "lots of love." She texted a friend, "I?m so sorry to hear about your mother passing away. LOL. Let me know if there's anything I can do."
