AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Best question ever.

WELL. I most certainly do know what LI means. It means, 'laughing inside' and it's going to take the place of LOL because it's actually true.

Also, because we said so ;)

Honestly the only one I know is LOL. When people write the others I just assume they mean something good.

I doubt LI will replace LOL mostly because when i type LOL it means I laughed out loud at something.... I actually do... LI means to me... meh that wasn't funny enough to chuckle at.. try harder.. your jokes SUCK.

I prefer LQTM (laughing quietly to myself) instead of LI. A two letter acronym is just too short.

I'll have a stab and say "Laughing Incontrollably"?
It might take over LOL because it's of a more intense nature. Or just that it's 33% shorter.

Li is laughing inside.

Ll is a lazier way of saying 'lol', instead of taking time to reach over and type an 'o', they just say 'll' or 'lllllll'

Doesn't LI mean Laughing Inside?

No it's not going to take place of LOL. LOL is part of internet slang culture, I doubt it can be changed, nor enforced to change.

LI to me means Long Island. Does this mean that I may have been confusing a lot of people for quite some time?
Comments
- Nope, not me, I wasn't confused at all. I've always understood it to mean Liver Island.
  
  btw, where is Liver Island? Is it half way across Liver Island Sound to Connecticut. How far is it from that huge statue of the Liver Lady?
  OK, now I am confused.
