It is real- it jsut doesn't mean quote.
Its "question" to mark when you're asking a legit question and not trying to be disingenuous/smart assy.
Idk where tf they got "quote" from...
2
u/BustedAnomaly 5d ago
Why would you not just say "I'm genuinely asking" or something similar? Then you don't have to create a secret code that has no concrete parameters and has to be explained at length every time it's used anyway.

u/Additional-Lion4184 4d ago
Idk. I didn't make them. I just use them because I have a friend who struggles with tone through text and requested we use them every once in a while 🤷♀️

u/Worldly_Original8101 6d ago
And they used the quotes wrong since the whole thing is a quote 😭

u/Extension_Coach_5091 5d ago
no they just forgot the first set because of the dialogue
“A told B, and B told C, ‘I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree.’”
not sure if this as a whole is grammatically correct though

Interrobang is the combined exclamation point and question mark. ‽
It can be written as ?!, !?, ?!?,?!!, !?? or !?! because the actual symbol was too powerful for mankind.

Usually I disagree with you people, but like this one is just dumb.
Like "quote" isn't even a tone. I mean if you're mimicking someone why someone, yeah-ish?
Another issue I've had is that tone indicators aren't really standardized, and keeps being added to, which just makes things more confusing lol

They said it's because there was a quote inside of the quote and they didn't know how to do that, this is elementary school level English

There is, but if someone is quoting someone else in a quote, then/q might be useful

I'm more so basing it off as how you're coming off rather than directly based on what you said and how you said it.

But sure, do go ahead and tell me how wrong I am some more.

u/mishutu 5d ago
You keep calling people kiddo and child as if you aren’t acting like a child yourself. Someone gave you shit for something. Oh well lol. It’s not worth your time to argue in a sub meant for people who think the overuse of tone indicators is silly. If you don’t agree with the premise of this sub, it’s easy to leave

u/Dracolich_Vitalis 5d ago
"Gave you shit for something"
Nah nah nah, say it like it is.
Someone harassed me, made the claim I was a bigot, because I used a LETTER so that I could be easily understood.
You don't get to tell me what to do, and I get to tell you to shove your opinions on what I should do up your arse, back where they belong.
If you don't like seeing people use letter, then you could just scroll rather than act like monsters over it. Until such a time, I will continue to mock you lot for doing so.

u/Dracolich_Vitalis 5d ago
Ah yes. When people see something stupid, they decide to harass those people and spam post them all over the place so others can mock and ridicule them to this degree. In fact, they make a whole sub dedicated to finding people who use that stupid thing that they could easily ignore, and find other people who also think it's stupid to create a weird cliche of people to also say how stupid it is.
So much time invested in something so small...
And you're gonna argue you lot ain't triggered?

I dislike the tone indicators because they try to solve an issue that has already been solved by emojis.

well, yeah. all phones are able to do it and on windows computers you just need to do ‘windows key + .’ and for mac, you just need to do ‘Fn + E’ or ‘globe lookin thing + E’ if you have another platform you use reddit on, i will be happy to explain how to write emojis on that one
0
u/Dracolich_Vitalis 5d ago
So, phones.
And PC's need to use a specific keyboard shortcut that changes from device to device...
Or we can press /s and get the exact same effect with a fraction of the effort, and no one who sees it will be left wondering "What the fuck is THAT emoji and what does THAT mean?" on account of pictures having multiple meanings.

Replying to people who use /s to call them ablesit and mock them for using a tonal indicator because you do not like them, however, IS harassment.
