I hereby declare we stop using "lol" and use (笑) instead.

Because that's how Japanese does.

So, I'm using Kanji dictionaries and I know jack shit about its terminologies.

For instance, there's three things when you click in the symbol I believe it's the different reading each kanji has (no shit Sherlock!) but I have no idea what's the difference between them.

OK, the first is on-yomi which I already noticed sometimes it's how you read names but not all the time, kun-yomi is pretty much the same as on-yomi and nanori is how you read stuff that aren't names like verbs and whatever. You know what I mean.

Is there a wise Japanese learner around here that can enlighten me with your knowledge in this stuff? Onegai.
