Thanks for this. Whenever I type that sound, it's intended as like an exasperated sigh
I read it as hiss, but with a slack jaw and staring blankly ahead, like a zombie
Brazilians write kkkkkkkk which confused me a lot
I think Thailand is 55555
Koreans use ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ (hhhhh) and ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (kkkkk). They also put ~~~~~ everywhere, apparently that makes things less serious.
In Japan they'll use either 笑笑笑 or wwww. Sometimes you see ハハハ which is a transliteration of hahaha.
Or there is the classic 草
The Spanish use jajajajaja afaik
As a German, this always confuses me
jajajajaja angrily nods head
j is spoken similar to an h in Spanish. Juan is basically almost Huan.
I'm American who grew up in Florida with a mother who grew up in Puerto Rico, with tons of Spanish exposure, and I still read that as "yah yah yah yah yah"
It’s due to how the letter is spelled in brazilian portuguese, it more of a 'kah' sound, like a cackle.

So they aren't chatting with Darth Vader? ☹️
Thanks, I read it like hhhhhng which is... different.
"Sure. Send me 10,000¥ and I'll teach you first lesson."
I live in a pretty international place, and when i was still on bumble, this kinda tracks. Every most chinese person i talked to, mainly talked business. The secone tging they askes was pretty much always what your job is and if it's a good job. Sometimea the racism as well
Oof, you really aughta give that a spell check once over my friend. It's on the edge of unintelligible.
aughta
Ought to.
I understood what they meant in any case.
Yep, I definitely didn't do that on purpose. You're right.
I actually had a hard time reading their comment. Maybe it's because I was just waking up, but it's generally a good idea to at least read what you've typed once before hitting submit.
Edit: also you're wrong. https://www.oed.com/dictionary/oughta_v?tl=true This word has been in use with this spelling since 1840. Language is fluid, Words are defined be how they are used, not the other way around.

Isn’t philo-Semitism awesome?
It really is. “You’re so smart and know how to make lots of money. You must be the reason I don’t have lots of money. I want to kill you.”
