?I thought they were popularized by the internet chat room in the early 90's? I 
could be wrong. lol

Well folks, I did not realize that we were being critiqued on our 
colloquialisms.

For the record "LOL" is modern short for "Laughing Out Loud" and, should it 
appear in one of my emails "ROFL" is modern short for "Rolling On Floor 
Laughing".

These terms have been popularized by the phone texting whizzes of modern 
America.

See there, voila, you now have the answers.

Not misspelling, but Oklahomizing! An honorable Anasazi tradition.

I suspect he was misspelling the French expression: 

Voilà, which literally means: See there!

  Ian,

   

  I suspect you are thinking that this term: lololollolol 

   

  Is the "walla" you refer to? Just an attempt to make a sound like a turkey, I 
guess.

    Hi Listers,

     

    I can confirm that this feature works with MS Word 2010 Windows 7 and Jaws 
12.

     

    This was my first look at the "Research" feature, and I'm impressed.

     

    BTW, what does "WALLA" mean?

    Hi folks,

    I just discovered what, most likely, everyone else has known all along.

    In MS Word 2007, W7 and JAWS 11, latest build, one can focus on a 
particular word, go to research and, WALLA the word you focused on is in the 
search box.

    This is as slick as sliced bread. (LOLLOLLOL)

    Wonder if this is still working in JAWS 12.
