When you are texting LOL you are always writing LOL. It would appear that those instances which reflect actual audible laughter would be a proper subset of cases of writing LOL in text. The graph, therefore, is wrong.
I beg to differ. The two circles are “writing” and “doing,” not “texting” and “writing.” In my experience with English, neither of the two actually represented is a subset of the other in any way. They may overlap, or they may not. If you are going to criticize the OP, it seems perhaps you should have read more carefully. BICBW.
This graph makes no sense. How can there be usages of LOL that do not involve writing LOL? The green section should be a proper subset of the red one. There are, by definition, no situations where LOL is written that lie outside of the red area.
I’m missing the circle “When you don’t know something senseful to say” ^^
ROFLMAOWTFBBQ!!!!
TF2 player huh?
What the HECK does that mean?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
lqtm!
Well in my language, Dutch, lol actually is a word that means ‘fun’, so this graph doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
LOL in english means laugh out loud.
No, it means “Let’s Order Linguine”
Belguim!
I live there too
I believe the correct translation of “Haagse Harry” would be “Harry of The Hague”, not “Hague Harry”
. I’m from the Hague too, btw ^.^

Still a fail. All this time and most of the people posting graphs don’t have a clue how a venn diagram actually works.
When I laugh I say “I lol’d.” I’m not sure if that counts.
I have a great sense of humor and laugh out loud at what people say in text messages quite often. I only wish they could hear me.

well you can “laught out loud” without writing lol, the title is just representative
The funniest part about this is that its true!
I use it to soften a very harsh talking to. It makes me feel less like a b!tch.
