Has the New Yorker ran out of ideas for important issues to cover? It's funny, granted, but with everything going on in Baltimore and Nepal, it seems misplaced or at last badly timed.

#12interestingly, in Korea the laugh is keke / kek / kkkk / etc., while in Japan the laugh is w / www / etc.
Kind of like how animal sounds are very different across countries and cultures.

And it really seems like they've been on a trend of "OMG gen X, you so ooooooold" lately.

#14Interestingly enough, I use "Haha" to denote sincere laughing. Mischievous laughing goes as "Hehe"; imitating an overweight person goes "Hoho" and normally imitating a timid person (or a woman, and I swear they are not related!) goes as "Hihi."
I use "heh" to denote "I read your message, but I'm busy and I need you to stop talking to me". "I read your message, and I was mildly amused, but not enough to continue talking" is "hah". "I actually thought that was funny, but I'm still busy" is "haha". Real, actual laughter that wants to continue the conversation is "hahaha".
I'm 32.

#15In my personal experience "ha ha" is an almost default result of trying to avoid "lol." Why I try to avoid lol is a deeper question, but it has to do with AOL and how AOL looked from Compuserve in the early 90's. Anyway, yes I'm old.

#16I'd add that "bwahaha" comes across as a laugh at a person's expense.

Or a ham radio operator, HI HI.

#18In Thailand 'haha' is used extensively but it is written 55 because in Thai the number 5 sounds like 'ha'. So it's a useful shorthand.

I almost always only use it with a unwritten accent like when it's said in triumph, writing "Haha" but meaning "Ha HAH!"
