Language

Hello everyone! So, I was doing this writing workshop in my English class the other day, and this time we discussed the word “said.” It’s not a bad word – there are just so many other words that you could use. It doesn’t really say anything about how the person is saying it – it’s just kind of there, and since there already are quotation marks, it’s slightly redundant.

So I’ve compiled a long list of words to use other than “said,” and this is a list that I frequently use when I can’t think of any other word than “said.”

Bear in mind though, the word isn’t evil, and sometimes it is the only word you can use – but usually people use to much of it, and there are other, more appropriate, words.

So… here goes!
