say: vt. 1. To type to a terminal. "To list a directory
verbosely, you have to say `ls -l'." Tends to imply a
newline-terminated command (a `sentence'). 2. A computer may also
be said to `say' things to you, even if it doesn't have a speech
synthesizer, by displaying them on a terminal in response to your
commands. Hackers find it odd that this usage confuses mundanes.
