    Yeah, a friend of mine uses OTL as a “head-desk” emoticon and every time I’m just seeing letters and trying to expand the initialism.

    It’s easier when it’s mixed or impossible punctuation, like O.O or T_T or things like that - signaling that “normal rules of letters combining into words are not valid here, look for a different pattern”
