We probably all need a good laugh… and we certainly deserve one!

With how common now written exchanges are now between people everywhere in the world, sometimes it’s good to have a small aide-memoire on what laughs read like in different countries.

I think my favourite remains “ROFL”, first because it is deliciously emphatic, then and most particularly because I don’t read it letter by letter, and rofl just sounds very amusing.

There’s no reason we couldn’t all be happy together!
