=Said.= _Said_ (s[)e]d), not says (s[)e]z), in speaking of past
remarks. Many of the most cultivated people are guilty of this
vulgarism. "'I will call to see you soon,' _sez_ he." "'I will
be glad to see you at any time,' _sez_ I." Where the details of
a long conversation are given the frequent repetition of _sez_,
or even _said_, is very grating to the refined ear. The use of
_asked_, _inquired_, _remarked_, _suggested_, _answered_,
_replied_, etc., instead, has a pleasing effect upon narrative
or anecdote. It is preferable, also, to give the _exact words_
of the speaker after _said_, etc., as: "When he had finished
reading the letter, he said: 'I will attend to the business the
first leisure moment I have.'" When the word _that_ follows the
_said_, the substance only of the remark may be given, as "He
said that he would attend to the business the first leisure
moment he had." Whichever form is used in narrative, it is not
at all harmonious to give the _exact words_ of one speaker and
