"LOL" Laugh(ing) out loud

I may be truly accused of being slow to take on new fashions. But can anyone
reasonably defend this new fad of employing a question mark to replace an
apostrophe in a contraction?
We all make errors and have little idiosyncracies (I still do not know what
Philip's 'LOL' means after all these months...) but can we please keep what God
meant to be at the end of our sentences in their proper place?
I am sorry if this offends anyone who utilizes this novel technique. This
reader, for one, finds all these errant "?"'s distracting and annoying.
Sincerely,
Gary
