Typically, these abbreviations are used in lower case. When you see them in UPPER CASE, it usually means the person is SHOUTING. Generally, we prefer the soft tones, but there are times when you might use upper case. For example, when something is funny, you might say "lol nickname" but if it was a bit more funny than usual, you might say "LOL nickname".

Do you have more please send them to us and I'll add them to the list.
