Actual Literal Laugh Out Loud: Used when the reader actually laughed out loud, as opposed to the overused LOL where the reader didn’t actually do it.

Reason: Duracell knows how to post here, he was just making an inside forum joke.

I think that’s reasonable. It just seemed like Duracell (he? – Sorry, I don’t like to make assumptions) had a problem and I gave a solution to fix it. Only trying to help.

This editor uses Markdown syntax, which makes it hard to add in-URL parentheses:

Try doing this:

Markdown Syntax Guide said:

Markdown supports two style of links: inline and reference. In both styles, the link text is delimited by [square brackets]

[…]

Reference-style links use a second set of square brackets, inside which you place a label of your choosing to identify the link:

This is [an example][id] reference-style link.

You can optionally use a space to separate the sets of brackets:

This is [an example] [id] reference-style link.

Then, anywhere in the document, you define your link label like this, on a line by itself:

[id]: http://example.com/ “Optional Title Here”

That is:

  • Square brackets containing the link identifier (optionally
    indented from the left margin using up to three spaces);
  • followed by a colon;
  • followed by one or more spaces (or tabs);
  • followed by the URL for the link;
  • optionally followed by a title attribute for the link, enclosed
    in double or single quotes, or enclosed in parentheses.

Ranking the Star Wars films
Time
  1. The Empire Strikes Back
    Everything is bigger and better. Plot and script are great. May be considered one of the best films of all time.
  2. Return of the Jedi
    The needed sequel to The Empire Strikes Back. You can’t have one without the other. I can tolerate some of the lower points of the film. Overall, a great end to the trilogy.
  3. The Force Awakens
    A modern film in all the good ways. I like the diverse cast, the script, and the plot. Rey is great. Edges out Star Wars for me.
  4. Star Wars
    A solid film. Not as good as the other ones, but still great. It is very important in that it introduces all the characters.
  5. The Phantom Menace
    A terrible, terrible film. Edges out the two other prequels because it’s at lease semi-entertaining in its badness. Also contains some questionably racist characters.
  6. Attack of the Clones
    Absolutely horrendous. Bad for the same reasons all the prequels are bad: A terrible script. The “romance” story is spectacularly bad.
  7. Revenge of the Sith
    Taken on its own, Revenge of the Sith may be the best of the prequels. However, it finds its place at the bottom of the list because it failed at what it was supposed to do: Tell the story of how the good man who was Anakin Skywalker turn to Darth Vader. The first two also failed at this, and the last one failing is just sad. If I removed this factor, I might have put Attack of the Clones here.
