Have you ever pondered all of the synonyms for the word laugh, and how writers mimic the sound of each particular laugh on the page? Here's a handy little guide I've decided to put together, as far as I'm able:
Laugh: Ha ha!
Giggle: Hee hee!
Chuckle: Heh heh!
Chortle: Ho ho ho!
Snicker: (I'm baffled by this one. It's the sound the old Hanna/Barbera dog "Muttley" makes. I can't recall a snicker sound ever represented on a page.)
If you know of any others, feel free to add them in comments.
