TL;DR - The word “said” is useful because it is invisible and therefore allows the dialogue dialogue surrounding it to flow without interruption. If you’re using “said” bookisms, perhaps the dialogue itself needs work. 

YES

THANK YOU

PREACH

AMEN

Someday I will write my treatise on why said is fine and why other simple words are fine too SOMEDAY
