I don’t like the way tone tags look, but I still use them out of courtesy. I wouldn’t use it in this instance though.
i mean what if they really are from 2048 and are time travelling from the future? /j
There are people that genuinely aren’t able to understand things like this, and it’s really helpful for them
Oh tone tags can be helpful but come on, you should be able to identify that they aren’t in 2048 without a tone tag
People would be able to tell that they’re not in 2048 because that’s not possible, but the actual intentions of this would not actually be clear to many people.
oh i’m not making fun of tone tags in general but just this instance
but the tone tag here isn’t necessary, since like you said “People would be able to tell that they’re not in 2048 because that’s not possible”
0.01% of the population needs them. not going to change the way i type for that 0.01%
If I know people need them I will use them though since they can be helpful, but common sense is needed here to analysis that the tone tag here is ridiculous
the rest of the 19.9% of people that need them are on the phone, and are asking you to stop
really? People really need a tone tag to identify “I’m in 2048” is a joke?
also, mybearworld’s point: not everyone has perfect “common sense”. someone could think it’s a typo, non-native speaker etc. i’ve been in a very similar situation myself and while i am able to discern tone 80% of the time, they are still nice to have when that 20% comes around
(context: i’m autistic)
I have ADHD and also can struggle to identify contexts, but this is ridiculous. Knowing time travelling doesn’t exist is a basic fact anyone over the age of 6 should know and if someone is that dumb, than use google
Yes, people can probably deduce that it isn't serious. The exact meaning, though, isn't clear.
