**** Usage notes
_State_ is stronger or more definitive than _say_. It is used to communicate
an absence of reasonable doubt and to emphasize the factual or truthful nature
of the communication. The poet and journalist William Cullen Bryant listed
_state_, when used as a synonym for _say_, in his style guide for _The New
York Evening Post_, which he called the "Index Expurgatorius".
Some journalists prefer to follow the formula that "People _say_ things, and
documents _state_ things".
