[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 1325591, member: 1"] I'll leave the nitty-gritty grammar/spelling stuff to Hypersmurf, because he's doing a grand job! But I do have to comment on this... Interesting though they may be, none of those three words mean "said", which is what you have used them as: A voice or sound can sound muffled or be muffled, but "to muffle" is not a means of communication. To subdue someone is to calm someone down, often with force (remember subdual damage from 2E?). One can be subdued, but "to subdue", again, is not a means of communication. "Singsang" - I've never heard of the word, although it may be a slang or colloquial term which you are aware of but which I'm not. I'd bet on it not being a word, though. :) Otherwise, the story itself is fine! [/QUOTE]
