K!

I will be the first to admit, that I fly off the handle very easily. I get grumpy and act like a toddler. It's usually when I am tired or hungover, or both.

My wife gets to see it daily, especially when we watch TV. I have a comment for everything - mostly very mean things that I would never repeat in front of people I didn't know.

One thing that really gets under my skin is the usage of "K" to replace "OK". Now, I "get" why people use LOL, or BRB, or :-). I understand that when something is funny, people want to put LOL instead of "gee Ryan, that was pretty darn funny!" But how many times are people actually laughing when they put it? I think a more appropriate term would be SOL = smiling out loud. 9 times out of 10 you are just smiling, because it is pretty frigen weird if you are laughing all those times.

OK (pun intended), back to my main point. Who started K? When did we become this lazy that we shorten a 2 letter term to 1 letter? And can it also be argued that OK stems from Okay? I think we all know where this is headed. Pretty soon the K is going to be replaced with a k..............then someday replaced by nothing? A half of a k?

I hate the K, unless it is when my fantasy stud pitcher Tim Lincecum is throwing. Then I love me 10 Ks that day.
