just had a chat with my friend. and learned that they use orz more often in Taiwan instead of OTL.
i didn't know anything about orz. so i googled...
and learned there are a few more emoticons equivalent to OTL such as JTO and OTZ.
also realised that i've been making a false assumption about OTL.
for some reason i thought it was the emoticon that is spreaded worldwide from english speaking country.
never guessed that it could be originated from East Asia
(kind of presumed it is english slang or something. well, it's english alphabet after all.)
apperently OTL is only popular in Korea and East Asian countries, besides orz is started from Japan.
in fact when i think of it, i've never seen anyone using it on FB in the uk.
why did i ever think it's commonly used everywhere?
hmmm... learning new things everyday!
i know it's not a great discovery but still... something! isn't it? ^o^
