We live in Czechia and my SO is teacher in local school. She asked a 6th grade girl what she wants to draw today and she literally responded "IDK". It's kind off weird how internet slang is slowly merging in everyday IRL vocabulary.
-
When I was younger, there were people who would actually say lol. I wouldn't say it's new, but I think the advent of the internet has certainly accelerated some aspects of linguistic evolution.
It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall in a couple hundred years' time to see where English goes from here.

I do this, I hate it, but I can't get rid of it so I've started to accept it.
-
Lol

-
for me "lol" and "lmao" are desperately trying to replace non-lexical sounds of amusement like "hah!" and "eeey!"
-
Yeah, we say lol to each other as a joke when something is "funny" or as a joke in it self, but never as a response to someone outside the family circle or in formal setting. Bot that may change too in the future.
The internet is for sure speeding things up. I wonder how will our (Czech) language look like in 10, 20, 30 years. I am all for simplification but sometimes it just feels weird :D

as in "aye dee kay", or simply saying "i dunno" in english despite being in czech school?
-
I mean it's kinda same when people say www instead of world wide web, even though the word has less syllable than the letter
-
All hail "dub dub dub"
-
Wub wub wub

I didn't learn that www stood for world wide web until I was 19
-
There will be a generation that didn't know lol stand for laugh out loud but will lol along.

Like when people say "LOL"? It's so fucking weird to me
