Overusing descriptive speech tags is worse than just using said every time. While there are decent alternatives in the list, some of these are pretty ridiculous, like 'crabbed' and 'vociferated' and 'whickered'.

Yea, some of the options are pretty retarded. I was more vouching for "You can totally write something without saying said" than "You should get on your hands and knees and worship infographs."
