Lowercase Will and His Lols

In Will Grayson, Will Grayson, David's will hates the term "lol." He thinks its dumb because no one is actually laughing out loud.

Well, will, when I type lol, I actually am laughing out loud. For the people who aren't, I recommend "loi," meaning "laughing on inside."

Who of you is actually laughing? And do you think its as dumb as will?

I don't see anything wrong with saying "lol" even if you're not being completely literal. The point is that you find it funny and that's what "lol" conveys.

And personally, I never laugh out loud, simply because that's not my laugh. My natural laugh is just a silent exhale through the nose or a snort. Just because I'm not laughing out loud doesn't mean I don't find it funny, and just because I find something funny doesn't mean I have to laugh out loud...

However, I also support "lqtm" -- laughing quietly to myself.

Yeah I don't do this either. I like all my text to be almost exactly what I would be saying if I was talking face to face with the person.
