Great, another source of bad English, yay!
I followed a few links and it was saying about teaching internet chat-speak like lol and gr8, I just pray they remember to drive home the message of never, ever, ever using them outside of that one niche, and certainly never out loud.

Actually, I say "LOL" a lot. ^^ There are some situations, situations that are not funny enough to laugh, but nevertheless are funny, perhaps with a pinch of mischievousness. In these situations, a nice fat LOL fits in perfectly. Just watch Pure Pwnage, Jeremy does it, too.  |

I type LOL only for the times that I can't actually be bothered enough to laugh out loud, because I can.

Lol is only good when it's ironic.

LOL is only funny when your granfather says it, cause he thinks it's a new swear word.

I think the only time I ever used lol was when I was playing an mmo and couldn't be bothered to type the extra letter in 'haha'. Other than that I avoid using net speak, on the internet or in life. Or should I say irl...  |

But back to the topic, where is cosplay Japanese school? I think it would really motivate me to go to lessons if my teacher was dressed like a maid with cat ears.

Yeah, but what your 40 year old, sweaty, male teacher turns and asks you about English, I think his maid costume and cat ears might prove distracting.

If by distracting you mean a turn on then, ... uh... yeah. You're right.

I wouldn't worry unless they make you stand up to speak, that could makes things difficult.

The best bit about bringing your own books to lessons is that you can hide some suitable filthy material inside. If you're caught you can always claim that as filthy and degrading as your magazine is, the young lady teaching the class has considerably less clothing and dignity...
