Not in the general dictionary but in the Acronyms, Initialisms and Abbreviations Dictionary though. They can also add ROTFL, BRB etc. Why not? Of course people will resist these terms but English is an organic language and it's interesting for me to see these new developments. Side: Yes

In my opinion, I am absolutely against addition of this word to the dictionary,and there are some reasons which i have decided to write about: 1) First of all, if we start adding the words like LOL, AFK, IMHO, etc, our next generation will lose their native beautiful language.The language will be not eloquent like it is now. 2) There is no need in addition of this word namely. For example there are so many other beautiful full words which mean the same. 3) Time by time, if we add these words like LOL, our dictionary will get dirty. Side: No
