-## Tone of voice
-
-The GraphQL specification is a reference document and should use neutral and
-descriptive tone of voice.
-
-Favor the present tense. The present tense is usually clearer and shorter:
-
-✅ Present: The client then sends a request to the server.
-❌ Future: The client will then send a request to the server.
-
-Avoid repetition. Repetition adds more cognitive load and possibilities for different
-parts of the specification to diverge in their meaning.
