The Small Annoyances in Life

I've noticed recently that a lot of people use a "B" in their text laughs. I saw, for example, "bwa-ha-ha" and "bahaha" in recent posts I saw on Facebook and Twitter. And this bothers me - there is something completely unrealistic and unnecessary about that "B."

In fact, this might bother me more than "LOL." My freshman year in college, I took a stance against "LOL" and would instead use "IL"..."I'm laughing." I would perhaps even use "ILRH" for something particularly funny. Because who in life has ever said "laugh out loud"! My text acronyms are always logical.

[This could be categorized with the same annoyance as people using the word "nourishment" in prayer...because when else in life does anyone legitimately use the word "nourishment"?]
