I'm surprised "lol" is so uncommon... only 1.9%. I see it more often than haha I think... Also no mention of rofl? Or lmao? Or kekeke? Odd... And by emoji, do they mean the Japanese ones? Because smileys and emoticons existed long before emoji... Maybe the facebook users are different than the internet crowd I know (mostly forums).

Footnote 2 seems to be a listing of the regexes used. It seems emoji means "some of the smilies we automatically replace with images".

I hear kids these days are using lel a lot. Also, no muhaha or muahaha etc... but I suppose those wouldn't match too many.

> Or kekeke That's perhaps mainly an online gaming thing? My korean friends simply type Kkk. And chinese hihi/哈, thai 555, etc - a regex nightmare to be sure

I'm sad they didn't show how many people use "teeheehee." I don't know when I started that habit but now I'm using it occasionally.
