Y’all wanna know some tight shit? If you ignore the number of deviations for “XD” and measure the number of times the letter D was added to XD against the number of deviations per emoticon, these results VERY CLOSELY follow Newton’s Law of Cooling
the trend equation would be y=33217e^(-0.76x)
and the R-squared value for that equation is 0.986, which in layman’s terms means that the equation should be able to predict the use of these emoticons in the future with 98.6% accuracy.
