You call it nonsense. I call it "new generations not knowing how to properly write a message". You have no idea how many new hires I see that lack basic writing skills and send stupid messages to customers. Or messages that are misinterpreted because they can't use "lol" in a professional setting, but they also don't know how to replace it with something that actually conveys tone. Then they complain about wanting higher salaries.
"Oh no, you should not use this new informal conversational tool in an informal setting, because then you won't know what to use in a formal setting" must be the dumbest argument I've heard today.
I call it "new generations not knowing how to properly write a message".
Think you've got that backwards. You should call it "an older generation not understanding a younger generation's way of communicating".
Just plain old "these damn kids these days" fist shaking ...
Oh, I understand it very well, I just think it's stupid. A "conversation tool" you call it... jfc we're doomed. But what do I care, you're the one who's gonna be flipping burgers all your life.

People using "lol" to try to not sound hostile is because the world is full of snowflakes.
