this is for the benefit of anyone that doesnt know what tonetags are. I saw someone not understand tonetags, so i thought I'd just. yk. clear it up lol. tone tags (also known as tone indicators) are things you can include in your tweet, caption, message, really anything in the form of text to indicate what the tone is. some people have difficulty picking up on tone. communicating through text only makes this harder due to lack of audio and physical clues (voice inflection, body language, facial expressions, etc.) tagging what tone you are using can be very helpful for others understanding of what you're saying, clarification, avoiding miscommunications, etc. be patient if people don't know what tone tags are. someone not being aware probably isn't their fault. patiently explain to them or even send them this thingie.
