ell-oh-ell...oops, I mean lol (or do they say "lawl!" ?)
I say "brb" and "bbl" to some people in real life...it's just quicker and gets the point across quickly. "lol" is just going too far IMO.
But, I don't think it is common, especially not frequent, that a typical PC user speaks/types like a '1337 h4x02.'
