To be used in replacement of "LOL" or "haha"
In online conversation, EC is used when a person does not necessarily "laugh out loud" or produce enough of a laugh to vocalize a "haha", rather, they chuckle in an exhaled breath ... EC ... exhaled chuckle.
Also in online conversation, EC can be used when someone tells a horrendously bad joke that doesn't warrant an LOL or a haha, yet you feel you need to respond with something so as not to insult the receiving party.
