    I’m missing the circle “When you don’t know something senseful to say” ^^

  2. Hague Harry says:

    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.

  3. Borborygmi says:

    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.

    • contrarian says:

      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.

  4. DeltaMercury says:

    When I laugh I say “I lol’d.” I’m not sure if that counts.

  5. humor me says:

    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.

  6. ROB. says:

    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.

  7. Annonymus says:

    The funniest part about this is that its true!

  8. honestly says:

    I use it to soften a very harsh talking to. It makes me feel less like a b!tch.

  9. patsfanczar says:

  11. nathan says:
