Correction: Has anyone ever used the word “exclaimed?”?

It’s used all the time in novels and children’s books but I have never heard it used in speech. Have you ever used it or heard anyone else use it?

I don’t think I have ever used it in speaking, though I wouldn’t necessarily remember, but I have used it in writing. We need many words more for writing than for speaking. When we speak the listeners get a lot of information from our body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, etc. That doesn’t happen when we read. Instead, we get extra information from the type of words the author uses. For example, “exclaimed” gives us more information about how the words were said than “said” does.

I hope these thoughts help.

Exclaimed is a word that can be used to describe how someone says something. It generally used when writing dialogue so people don’t usually say it out loud.

It is a word that is very uncommon in the spoken language. It is used by authors to add dynamics to the written word.
