"I'm Actually Laughing"
It has come to attention that people often say 'lol', and that word has no meaning anywhere. You never know whether or not the person has actually laughed, unless they say, "dude, that was so funny, i'm laughing!". However, saying that often kills a joke.
"I Actually Lol'ed" doesn't work either since 'lol' has no definitive meaning.
IAL signifies that a person is actually laughing. Laughter has a meaning that everyone knows. If not, get some friends or read a joke book.

I am actually laughing.

This is an alternative to the widely spread 'Lol' that holds no meaning. While 'Lol' is almost ironic, and used as a sentence filler, IAL implies actual hearty laughter. Used in IM speak.
