ha ha
Joke got through
Ha ha represents laughter in writing, the basic transcription of vocal amusement.
The spelling can multiply—ha ha ha—or appear as a single ha.
In text messages and online, ha ha often signals polite acknowledgment rather than genuine laughter: Ha ha, that's funny.
Tone determines whether it reads as warm or sarcastic.
