I've seen the letter 'w' a lot on youtube comments by Japanese and in anime.(btw, does anime have a plural form?) I'm guessing it means something like 'lol,' but where did it originate from?

I was told it's an expression similar to 'lol'... But I can't shed any info on it's origins.

w for 笑い (わらい), meaning to laugh.
Just to clarify, 笑い in romaji is "warai", so the first letter "w" is used as an abbreviation.

The plural form of "anime" is "anime", btw.
