A few days ago, somebody requested a post on how to use the American-English acronym “LOL.” For those of you who have never encountered it, “LOL” is a common bit of Internet slang that means “laugh out loud” or “laughing out loud.” While I haven’t been able to find a common Esperanto equivalent, I thought it would be pertinent to attempt to show a possible acronym that could be used instead.<\/p>\n

Thus, we have the acronym “REL<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n Whether or not other Esperantists would know what you’re saying, I do not know. But hey, go ahead and use it. Maybe it will catch on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few days ago, somebody requested a post on how to use the American-English acronym “LOL.” For those of you who have never encountered it, “LOL” is a common bit of Internet slang that means “laugh out loud” or “laughing out loud.” While I haven’t been able to find a common Esperanto equivalent, I thought…<\/p>\n
