When someone texts you ‘lol’ how do you read that in your mind?

[Still-alive]

‘Laugh out loud’

‘Lowll’ https://voca.ro/1jIZiPr92THq

I hear laughter in my mind when reading that

I read it a different way (say how)

[melanieeeB]

Lol... haha I don't day anything out loud, just l o l

[Still-alive]

Well some people have a voice in their head when they read things thats what i mean

I voted "laugh out loud", but I hear it as "lowll" just about as much, and occasionally as laughter in my mind.

I don't appreciate that at all. It is like as if the person does not take me seriously at all.

I actually read it the way that @Chazmatazz269 says it: "ell oh ell".

I just think of it as the lazy filled pause of texting.

I agree with that in regards to most acronyms used in text. However, I do think "lol" has its place. It can also be used to signify something that is intended to be funny with positive intent by the writer, so as not to confuse or imply a different intent or meaning. Sometimes people's intent is easily misunderstood in text, so adding "lol" or "lolz" can indicate the intent of it being positive instead of a negative. I do agree with you, but with a few concessions.

[spartan55]

Agreed, it can be used to 'soften' parts of a message that could be construed as negative.
