Errors - speaking what you say
[edit]On "Uh, presumably that was supposed to be 'speak everything they think.'" - in context, that reading doesn't really make sense. Windblade is talking about subtext, so "say" means "communicate," whether directly or indirectly, as opposed to "speak," meaning to voice aloud - "think" would make the whole statement a non sequitur.
It's ... kind of a clever line, actually?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Copper Bezel (talk • contribs).
