lol or haha - which do you use?

Hi ginagee, I always use lol until I joined mylot, but because there are lots of people here from different nations I didn't know whether they all knew what I meant! Someone thought I was saying lots of love and I really didn't want people to think that, so I've started using haha, hehe or ha on here now!

lol, hehe (which is like a chuckle or giggle), haha, lmao,.... yep i seem to use em all ;). I think i would use lol the most though. hehe and im giggling as I write this lol.

funny you asked. i used to write haha or hehe, but that was before i learned what LOL stood for. now i'm using lol quite often --- makes me feel hip and updated. lol!

I don't like LOL, I think it is too trendy and it is starting to get kind of old. I'll stick to the good old haha any day.

I use both on a regular basis. If I think it's just a little bit funny, or I want it to be known that I'm just joking I say (lol) , but if I think something is really funny, then I say ( hahahhaha )

I use them both since they both mean the same thing.

Well I actually use a number of different ones depending on my mood and the mood of the thread/topic etc...the most common for me being LOL - LMAO/LMFAO - ROFLMAO/ROFLMFAO but I also use Hahahahaha or if I'm being mischieveous and naughty its tee hee

I use lol mostly cayuse I use it in games when we chat but I use it on my cousin on IM and he thinks I say lots of love but for him that works too

I use both. I'm not sure, it's just nice to have a bit of variety. :]

I personally use lol, but then I am one of those annoying people who always has my cellphone out texting someone. (lol). I have a friend who is an entire generation older than me (like really my moms age), she and I text back and forth almost daily, and she uses haha. And every time I type lol, I have to explain what it means to her. I think at least in our specific case, it is a generational thing. I find that typical "IM speak" generally used in instant messaging and texting flies right over her head, and I have to go back and type the whole thing out. I am definately curious to see the responses on this.

I always say lol, although sometimes I say haha. I also sometimes use the two of them together...such as lol haha. But no, generally I just use the lol by itself. It depends whether I'm texting or on msn as well. When I text I just use lol, probably because it's easier to type. Have you ever almost said lol when you were speaking? I almost have....I guess that's a sign that I should text less or something! LOL.

i use both. i don't think age contributes to this matter, whichever we want to use depends on us, ourselves. ^_^

i use both, which ever comes out frist usually 'lol' but i use haha ot hehe lot too!

I use lol and LOL very seldom use haha I just like the look of lol

HEHEHE is my prefered laugh . It makes me laugh just to read it . Im not comfortable using LOL like I am usually not comfortable with anything new of which I was the last person to know .

I use Lol, as I see most of the other members, atleast in the discussions I took part, use lol. lol...

for me for the sake of courtesy and good etiquette, i use lol; for less funny comment, hehe and to put emphasis on funny comments i use hahaha. whether or not i can get response on those, is the least of my concern, for as long as i have given/posted my reply

I usually use LOL. I am not a fast typer so LOL is faster.

Very unique post there..haha..see i just used it.LOL.there it goes again..but anyway i use them both..im just worried sometimes that some of the users here might not know what LOL means..so i use haha.

It depends, for me. I always used haa, or hehehe, or similar and still use it when I chat in my language or with some friends that I know so well that the communication is more direct, even when chatting with them. But on international forums, as mylot or orkut I use lol, I like it too, besides the meaning (laugh out loudly, I think), the sound lol pleases me a lot
