The professional tone is very similar to the informative and formal tones; however, it tends to have a more inviting pull to it. The word selection in this tone leans more toward confidence and sincerity. If a brand wants to show authority and trust in its brand, this is an excellent tone of voice to adopt. 1, record 1, English, - professional%20tone%20of%20voice

The expression "without authority" in paragraphs 75(b), 75(c) and 75(f) of the National Defence Act signifies that the accused person acted or omitted to act with neither the approval of a competent superior nor the sanction of law, practice or custom. If the evidence adduced by the prosecution, taken by itself, tends to show that the accused person acted without authority, a service tribunal may find them guilty unless the person establishes that they had authority. 1, record 2, English, - without%20authority
