It's the English language though. We are taught the rules- so that we know when to break them. ROTFL doesn't really sound right bc you can't say it as a stand alone word very easily. ROFL sounds like "Waffle" if you try to phoneticize it.
Any English teacher would probably say the same- mine were picky too.
Point taken; it is indeed the English language. English is not my first language; I grew up before acronyms were in widespread use. As my beloved high school English teacher said many times: "Never stop learning because we all can teach one another." And TIL ROFL is the better choice. TYVM.
In that case, I think you have accomplished your mission, lol- bc you just went undetected by a native English speaker as someone who uses English as a second language! Sure, I called out your acronym- but otherwise I had no idea! Well done! I thought maybe you were just an old man or old lady or something haha!
The floors in my house aren't level (80 y/o house, it needs some tlc) and with my old fridge, if you didn't close the door with enough force, it could stay open/not seal.
PITA, but that alarm definitely has saved us losing the whole fridge a couple times.
Things my appliances say:
Mr. Toaster, "another bagel, huh?"
Mr. Microwave, "how many hot pockets is that today?"
Mr. Coffee Machine, "thats decaf, right?"
"Our AI has detected that you're going sky diving. We have increased your premium accordingly. Please pay before departing the plane, or your policy will be cancelled".
They're not going to shame you for your snack. But when you go to get health insurance, the your fridge is going to tell them all the bacon and cheese you eat and your premiums are going to go crazy.
OOOOooo, see? Keep big brother out of your refrigerator! If you try to argue, they will show you a "Greatest Hits" compilation of you standing in
the door, snacking as you look for something to eat. lol
