My LOL Theory
I have this theory that I want to run by you. Here it goes:
Whenever someone refers to themselves as laughing via email, text, or IM, it is always one step behind how they are actually reacting.
If you say “haha”, you are not even smiling. In fact, you are probably typing that to move on to the next thing. And that’s my theory.
If you say “LOL”, you just smiled, nothing audible.
If you say “ROFL”, you might have chuckled.
If you say “ROFLMAO”, you laughed, but chances are, your A did not come O.
