NO. Don't do that, it's pointless and you'll never get anywhere. I mean, since when has an internet conversation mirrored a real-life one? There's always some lame acronym/l33t sp33k going on anyway, so why bother? You'll start to pick up mannerisms from chat and instead of actually laughing at a joke you'll probably yell out "LOL! LOL LOL!" and look like an idiot in the process.
Plus there's the whole body language thing. It's something like 80% of our communication, whereas verbal communication is a measly 20% (I'm probably not exact but it's something like that).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
