LOL

LOL, an acronym for laughing out loud or laugh out loud, is a common element of Internet slang. It was used historically on Usenet but is now widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication, and even face-to-face communication.

What percentage of us are NOT actually laughing out loud when we use this acronym?

If I crack a smile, which I am having a hard time putting down. That is pretty much equivalent to LMFAO.
