Tone is -what a phrase or statement means or comes across as -despite what it’s actually saying. Examples of -tone could be serious, joking, lighthearted, etc. Tone -indicators are things you can include with text to -indicate what the tone of it is. Some people have difficulty -picking up on tone.
