There's a really funny new show on HBO called "Californication" that stars David Duchovny (YUM...!). He plays a writer experiencing a serious case of writer's block who is doing a regular blog until he can get his writing back on track. In last week's episode, a woman he was dating said "LOL" to him while they were talking in bed and it sent him off into a rant on his blog about how 'Netspeak is killing off the English language. It was pretty funny to me because I IM a lot and end up using all the shorthands people have spelled out in this thread. LOL!
