I am most defently not too old or too young,
But having been deprived (...sobs...)of the internet for most of my life has meant that i have fallen behind in the modern 'talk' of the internet,
The use of such acronyms as LOL and LMAO just goes over my head, and i have to try and think about what they are trying to say to understand them (curb the 'dumb' jokes), normally removing the effect they were meant to have.
So to use one i do know ;) WTF!
Does anyone else have this problem or am i alone on this island?

Well lol and rofl are about the only two that I really have a problem with. It's so annoying. They aren't really laughing out loud or rolling on the floor laughing. I used to use it but as I got older I realized how lame it really was.
