To Natalie and others

Please will you tell me and other mature students who don't know - what does lol or LOL at the end of a message mean? I thought I was fairly "teckie" for a granny but this one has me beaten
I thought it might mean "Lots of Love" - mmmmmmmmmmm perhaps not - "looking online lots" - I don't think so!
Please put us out of our misery

I do enjoy reading your postings and I am so full of admiration for all that you young ones achieve. You have no idea how much help you have been to me over the past couple of months. I especially want to thank the person who recommended listening to RTHK's archive and the programme on how to improve playing one's Grade 5 pieces, it was brilliant (and scary). Does anyone know how to listen to the Grade 6 pieces? I haven't bought the book yet but am really curious to hear them.

Hi Gemini, LOL = 'laughing out loud'

I think all grades were somewhere on that archive.

You can get them from this page.

yes! LOL means laugh out loud!!!

Yes I had a problem too and kept wondering who LOL was. A person? (I did once know someone called Lol ! Or maybe a pet? Someone I'm supposed to know cos all the others do?

Until I asked my daughter....!

I think we musicians ought to start our own text language. How about LFF instead of LOL and when we want to signal a quiet chuckle to ourselves about what someone has posted, how about LPP?

(sorry!)

what fun...........
So does that mean instead of using bold type we can just write rf and it won't sound as though we are shouting or being bad mannered?

I think I get the idea ................ so would
Lcresc.subitoF be the one where you start laughing out of politeness, and the joke suddenly hits you half way ??

Great Maggie

And what a wonderful way to help us all learn our performance directions for our theory exams!!

I woke up this morning feeling gioioso, but soon realised I'd slept in, so I had affrettore to get to work a tempo. My car was accelerrando but the lights changed so I had to rallentando allegro. the I was stuck dietro a really lent lorry. Eventually I arrived feeling tenebroso, but I bought a delizioso ######in, and was soon ruhrung plus lustig.

Just to let anyone know, it isn't just the, how can I put it politely, 'not-young-ones' who didn't know, but this probably reflects more on how useless I am with computers/texting that my age.

Thankyou Gemini for actually asking!

Hmmm, I'm trying to think of someway to keep this topic music related, ah, can anyone think of any other music terms with useful (amusing?) applications in real life?
