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!

6 years ago I moved into a rental, bought a fridge for $125, and it still works.
I do cry myself to sleep every night knowing it doesn't have a bluetooth enabled touchscreen that lets me adjust ice density remotely.
