			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>#35.  A search on the linguistics of the emergent LOLCat pseudo-language</strong> brought me to a December 2007 post at <a href="http://linguisticmystic.com/2007/05/29/im-in-ur-programmz-codin-in-ur-dialect-lolcode-and-feline-dialectology/" title="Read the post">Linguistic Mystic</a> in which he examines <a href="http://lolcode.com/contributions/lol" title="Read the discussion">a discussion</a> for <a href="http://lolcode.com/" title="I HAS 1337 CODE.">LOLCODE</a> programmers:</p>
<blockquote><p>
    I know VISIBLE is the current output command, but it’s so not LOLCAT. What if we used LOL as the output instead? So, the Count-1 example becomes:</p>
<p>    [Code]</p>
<p>    I think this works very well, is funny to read and matches actual LOLCAT protocol, sorta. I guess the LOL would be at the end normally.</p></blockquote>
<p>Linguistic Mystic writes,</p>
<blockquote><p>As a linguist, this is really, really exciting. People are already trying to step in and enforce the “rules” of the LOLCat dialect. It seems like, as a “native speaker” of LOLCat, the author of this page had a distinct intuition about the “proper” means of expressing a concept in this dialect. Truly incredible.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>#36.  I, too, find it exciting.</strong></p>
<p>If you can handle it: The LOLCat Bible Translation, <a href="http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Main_Page">Teh Holiez Bibul</a></p>
<blockquote><p>
