Just a little wonder...

When you type "lol" on msn, newgrounds etc. do you actually Laugh Out Loud, or do you just say it as a habit?

LQTM is a little more truthful. And I try to stay away from using "lol", "rofl", etc.

You know, "haha" or something like that. I still don't laugh, I mean, it's not as if you talk everything you type. Right?

I have never heard this before. I'm just guessing that people don't actually laugh, but find it more humorous. Usually saying lol is a sign that its actually not funny.

They did this kind of question on 60 minutes.

I say it just to make people feel better when they try to make me laugh and when I'm actually laughing.

I usually type "heh".

I rarely ever type "lol", mainly because I don't care much for it.

I actually only say it when I Laugh Out Loud. If I don't I usually just say something like that's funny.

I rarely really laugh out loud, so I try to use it sparingly.

I don't think I've ever typed 'lol'.

Though I have laughed out loud on numerous occasions due to this site.

Same here. If I find something remotely humorous on MSN, I type out "Hahahaha".

I find it more insulting and powerful to say "Suck My Balls"

I will type lol on occasion, depending on whom I am talking to, but I won't laugh really. I rarely laugh when I'm on the internet.

I never type lol. I seriously doubt people actually laugh out loud when they type "lol" anyway.
