Description

Usually in the form of [dialogue][pronoun][bookism]. ("but noooo," he moaned)

He / she / it / they "exclaimed", "growled", "emoted", "muttered" "whispered", "sighed", "rumbled", "hissed", "pontificated", "enquired". Yuuuck.

+1 for this entire project, Brian. I tried doing something like this a couple of years ago and didn't know enough. Still don't!

Research direction

The issue proposes detecting dialogue tags such as “moaned,” “growled,” and “whispered,” but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the linter’s existing rule implementations and test structure. Done should include a defined detection behavior for these “said bookisms” and tests covering the examples in the issue.
