So. Apparently teenagers are slipping emoticons and fake words into school work.

I can't even think of a time in school work where I'd want to slip an "lol" into a paper...I rarely use that phrase as it is, even in texting. What am I laughing at?
Like, I wouldn't in a paper discussing proper calf pulling techniques write, "If you pull with the cow's uterine contractions, you will have an easier time of completing the calving process. It would be better to pull downwards as well, so the calf will come out easier and then fall on the ground, lol."
I had to watch that for class. :D
I do find myself initially putting ellipses into my sentences...because I do that all the damn time. But then I fix it, and don't turn it into a professor looking that way. :p
