With you man! haha. In some of those clips your voice reminds me of Pedro:
on topic:
LOL = "lol" (With an English "o" not an American one)
LMAO = "el mayo"
ROFL = "roffle"
ROFLMAO = "roffle mayo"
PWN = "pown" |

American's pronounce an O as "ah". Americans pronounce "Shop" similar to the way other English speakers would pronounce "sharp" (remember we don't accentuate the "r").
To pronounce the O sound properly form your mouth into an "o" shape and vocalise without turning it into a diphthong (O not Owe). |

The name of the letter is "oh" (pronounced same as "owe"). And it makes that sound in words like "pope", "most", or "pole". But in words like "shop" or "pop" or "stop" it makes the sound described in my previous post (a short "o" sound in English English and an "ah" sound in American English). So in America those words are pronounced like sh-ah-p, p-ah-p st-ah-p etc.. |

| Oh I see. So you say it like "lohl" and not "lawl." |

Yeah but not as a diphthong the way one would pronounce "oh" (owe) by itself.
I'd expect the American pronunciation to be more like "lahl". |
