Tone is in the fingers. Toan is in the expensive useless gear.
And stupification is like Entropy. It's Inevitable.

If somebody wants to knowingly misspell "tone" as "toan" for fun, it doesn't bother me.
It's the ubiquitous grocer's apostrophes (and opposites), their/there/they're confusions, spellcheck and speech-to-text errors that get posted because people can't be bothered to reread what they just wrote before posting... writing 65' when they mean '65... 34' when they mean 34"... ellipses instead of commas to make it look like they're not chaining comma splices together when they absolutely are... that all bothers me.
"Toan" is just cute, nonharmful. People will get tired of doing it and move on to something else that annoys you instead.

Tone is what things sound like and toan is the sound of things to you that no-one else can detect or care about. Its an affliction, it cripples guitarist and many bassist
