When I was younger, there were people who would actually say lol. I wouldn't say it's new, but I think the advent of the internet has certainly accelerated some aspects of linguistic evolution.
It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall in a couple hundred years' time to see where English goes from here.
for me "lol" and "lmao" are desperately trying to replace non-lexical sounds of amusement like "hah!" and "eeey!"
