Ty, much appreciated

I need to use tone indicators more, I feel like they should be normalized more especially on the internet. Way we write on the internet does kinda indicate tone ("lol", "smh", ":3", etc) but it's not explicit or in any kind of standardized way rly. You added "no notes" in there which is also kinda like a tone indicator basically lol

In Lojban, this constructed language kinda based on first-order predicate logic I've been learning recently, we actually a wide variety of tone indicators that you can attach to anything from single words to entire sentences. All things in the language can be spoken aloud too just like they're written so you don't even need to intone your sentences or use body language irl, you can just drop like a speakable emoticon while you're speaking to make it explicit which is rly cool to me :3 especially cuz I miss stuff like that a lot irl and even more online

We don't have a sarcasm or irony indicator (that I know of....... should make one) but I guess you could use the humor marker "zo'o" (pronounced mostly like you would think but the apostrophe is kinda like an 'h'). Oh actually, you could also maybe use the indicator "je'unai" which indicates falseness (in the sense of a logical truth value) to make clear you're not actually asserting something, combined with "zo'o" I think that would be pretty clear indicator of irony in the sense of humorously asserting something that's false

Unrelated to thread topic but yeh lol

Bit idea: just saying "colon three" aloud :3
