Hopefully there isn’t already a topic like this
So I bet most of us have used/heard of these netspeak acronyms like 'LOL", “OMG”, “LMAO”, etc.
My question is, how do you pronounce these in your head when you’re reading them from your screen?
For me
Lol - “el-oh-el”
Omg - “Oh-em-gee”
Lmao - “Luh-mao”
Lmfao - “Lum-fao”
Wtf - “What the f*ck ”
Smh - “Ssss-m”
