When someone sends you that email with the abbreviation "LOL" in it, how do you mentally pronounce the word?

"El-oh-el" for me. But I rarely use the acronym myself.

LOL is an acronym for 'Lots Of Llamas'. I though everyone knew that?
Who do I belong To? Not Earth, Not world, Not Evil, Not mortals, Not wretches, Not horrors

Who do I belong to? Unchanging. Unbreaking. Unfailing. Creator. Immortal. Eternal

Surrender to the sound.

Oh, awesome. I used to think it was so strange that I mentally pronounce it as "lole" with a long o. I still have no idea why I pronounce it like that since it looks as if it should have a short o, but at least I'm not alone. \:D/
So you lost your trust,
And you never should have.
No, you never should have.
But don't break your back
If you ever see this,
But don't answer that.

I'll be doing my best
I'll see you soon.

'lawl', probably much the same as Psuedonym's long-o rendition.
"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

Heh heh. That took way too long for me to figure out. I can't stand stuff like lol, so I just ignore it, and if that doesn't work, I close my eyes and will it to go away.

I've never really thought about how I mentally pronounce "lol." :?
