When we make a mistake with the Speech or Tone command, we get an extra long list of scroll to this effect:


speech bashful
Which type of speech were you wishing to set? Type speech remove to remove your speech type.

accuse acquiesce add admit admonish
advise affirm agree announce answer
apologize argue assert assure banter
beg begin blurt boast brag
breathe bubble cajole call caution
chastise chatter chide choke chuckle
claim clarify coax coax command
comment commiserate complain compliment concede
conclude confess confide confirm console
continue correct cough counter croak
croon cry curse decide declare
demand demur deny describe digress
disagree drawl echo elaborate encourage
end entreat enunciate evade explain
falter fawn finish gasp greet
groan growl grumble guess hesitate
hint hiss implore inquire insist
instruct interject interrupt intone jibe
joke lament list manage marvel
mention monologue mumble murmur muse
mutter nag narrate note observe
offer opine orate order pant
persist plead pledge ponder pose
praise pray proclaim profess promise
prompt protest purr quip quote
rant rasp realize reason reassure
recall recollect refuse rejoin relay
remark remind remove repeat reply
request retort reveal roar sass
scoff scold scream screech shout
shriek sigh slur snap snarl
snort specify speculate spit splutter
squeak stammer start state stutter
suggest swear taunt tease threaten
urge volunteer warble warn wheeze
whimper whine whisper wonder yell


...that we don't need to see every time. Could we have the option to turn this off, or to just just a one-line message to the effect 'Type Speech help to see list of speech options' and this monster of a list only appears if we type in speech help?

The same request for 'Tone', please and thank you.

A second request would be, to accommodate those times when we can't remember if it is a speech or a tone, to have a single command that accommodates either/or. Perhaps 'STone' would be a good command for this. For example, in my case above, I could not remember if bashful was a tone or a speech, so I would have liked to have typed in 'STONE BASHFUL' and I would have gotten back

"Your temporary tone has been set to bashful."

Then I could type in 'STONE DESCRIBE'

"Your speech has been temporarily set to describe"

again with no risk of getting that output of some 36 lines and 180 words.
