Thanks, you are gradually opening my eyes to the chatting world. I wondered when people send me message that ends with lol. I didn't know the meaning and i have tried to no avail to get the meaning being the mostly used abbreviation. At a time, when somebody used it for me while chatting, I sent a message back asking for the meaning of lol but he ignored my question, I believe that some of the people using it do not know the meaning.
