Though I suppose if one were to respond to the thread question the answer must surely be that internet acronyms serve no purpose other than to make the user sound somewhat doltish, certainly with regard to the detestable lol, even further when said acronym is appended before a noun like some ghastly, bastardised injunction to act. Wtf, however, retains a pleasing anglo-saxon robustness.
