Simply to share what I found. This is a newsgroup about English,
right ?
Just think ... If the English language has only a word "Say" to mean
"Say", how bore can it be, right ?
As I stated in another message, my purpose is to share to all users
here in this newsgroup the different ways to "say"
> As it stands, it is incorrect in many ways
Would you kindly point out the incorrectness? I would very much
appreciate it !
Thanks in advance !

I am not a native English speaking folk. English is a second language
to me. So I am not going to tell you that I know ALL the EXACT meaning
of ALL the words I've listed here. All I know is that they have
_something_ related to "say", as you have so eloquently explained
above.
As for the misspelling, sorry. I copied it all from the Net, and don't
have the dictionary large enough to check all the spellings.

Please enlighten.
Thanks !
