Because LOL means "laughing out loud". It's an acronym like BTW, FWIW, AFAIK, IDK, FFS and all the others. It just makes things quicker.

What about teh lulz?
I know it's an acronym - but it saves ONE letter over "haha", or is more effort than just writing "ha" - which kind of takes away from the point of an acronym.
The other difference, of course, is that before it came into common usage, people never wrote "Laughing Out Loud", whereas people do regularly write - and say - 'by the way', 'for what it's worth', etc etc.

Ooooh, an opportunity to show off a bit of knowledge I picked up recently...
One should only use 'latter' (or 'former') when there are two things in your list, so with the 4 options you have above, 'last' should be used instead of 'latter'.
(where's the smiley/emoticon for "not having a pop, just passing on an interesting fact I picked up..."?!)

The worst thing I've heard recently, is someone describing themselves as "the Archbisop of Banterbury". It was a wonder they didn't get a roundhouse to the face for that.

I can't stand the word "Banter" anyway - calling something banter is a way of excusing being a twunt. But to call yourself that - I mean....Jesus.... how much of a idiot do you have to be?
