I have already asked you to use proper English

There is no such word as LOL

Please avoid abusing other users.


Franky, use of gutter language will not be tolerated here and will lead to a ban if repeated.

LOL was the only part I understood, while "I rest my case" is an idiom known only to a native speaker.

Well, perhaps, but you tend to type in an Australian slang, which is not helping my English very much.

I am not the one who could judge English slang properly, I just found this entry when searching for meaning:

Having a lend
An Australian term meaning to be lying to a person for one's own amusement.

Interesting, I always thought that was a term used generally in the UK and NZ as well as Australia, although still more idiom than slang

  1. Try not to use any slang. It is different depending on location.

    1. Having a lend only Australian. I had to look it up.
    2. Rooting for the home team is what you think it is.
    3. Please don't write ur - it's "you are" or "your" - MQL4 forum
    4. Even simple things like braces and brackets are different.
