New Delhi: The hilarious Twinkle Khanna is wrapping up a dream vacation in Cape Town with actor-husband Akshay Kumar, where she caught up on her reading. A fairly innocent tweet about one of the books she read resulted in a tweet argument - a very polite one.

Twinkle, who was reading Namita Devidayal's The Music Room, described herself as 'tone-deaf' in a tweet on November 2.
 

One particular Twitter user took offence at Twinkle's usage of the term 'tone deaf,' claiming it was 'offensive' towards those with hearing disabilities. The actress-turned-author responded with the dictionary definition of the term (those of you unfamiliar with it, do take note) as well as a refusal to be drawn into battle:
