Even when you know the meaning of a word, the exercise of a
care in its use is still necessary if you are to say precisely what you want to
say. For example: he said (stated, asserted, claimed, maintained, declared)
that the goods had not been delivered. To say means to express in words; state
- to express in a formal manner; assert - to express strongly; claim - to
express as being true; maintain - to uphold; declare - to make known. What
exactly do you want to say?
