> <laugh><laugh><laugh> so is a "<laugh>" like a "ha" or a "hahaha"?


<rofl> <laugh> is another abbreviation for rofl, so i'd hafta say it's more

of a 'hahaha' :) In email, i use it to mean 'a little less amused than

actually rolling on the ground, but more than <chuckle>' since both are

available :) definately less than <roflmao> :)

i'm not the least offended :) i belong to an on-line gaming community (mud)

which has it's own more extensive set of abbreviations for emotions, known

as 'socials' (the smileys are called 'emoticons', yes?). i've been gaming

and socializing with that community for years, so they're habit. i try to

avoid the most difficult to understand ones (i hafta take them back out

quite often), but leave the rest cuz i like 'em :) <scuffle> which if you

type it in on the mud will say 'You scuffle your feet around in the dirt' is

my favorite, and i use it all the time for 'i'm a little embarrased' but

only mudders understand it ;) Oh and the socials are different if they're

directed at someone or something rather than used alone. <laugh Philip> is

totally different than laugh ;)


> later <laugh><laugh><laugh>,

ha ha, made you laugh ;) <tickle> you're easily amused, hm? (this is a Good

Thing<tm>

P.S. You know you've been mudding too much when your talking on the phone,

your friend says something funny, and you say 'laugh' ;)
