Buddy Blaze I think you will find some abbreviations such as LOL are perfectly acceptable on PT, and rightly so, it is internet language, so why should it not be used, besides for someone like me typing really hurts my hands after a while , so abbreviations are very handy at times, just MO , I don't see why it bothers you so much., I think as long as someone's thread is eligible,that is the main thing.
