tone - Tone Indicators
.P
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
\fBTone\fR is what a phrase or statement means or comes across as \fIdespite what it's
actually saying\fR. Examples of tone could be serious, joking, lighthearted, etc.
\fBTone indicators\fR are things you can include with text to indicate what the tone
of it is. Some people have difficulty picking up on tone. Communicating through
text only makes this harder due to lack of \fIaudio and physical cues\fR (voice
inflection, body language, facial expressions, etc.). \fBTagging\fR what tone you are
using can be very helpful for others' understanding of what you're saying,
clarification, avoiding miscommunications, etc. Tone indicators can be used any
time of place you may be communicating through text.
