    They are not words and never will be words. Anyone who speaks them aloud needs to seriously get a non-virtual life.

    I've never heard anyone say 'omg' aloud, as opposed to 'oh my god', but even on the job it's very common to hear anyone between the ages of 20-35 say 'lol'. I even hear people say 'gg'.
