Shouting so that many may hear your words

SHOUT is syntactically the same as the SAY command. It broadcasts your message over a much wider area, however. Everybody in your local region (e..g. all across the city in which you stand) will hear you shout. It is commonly used for challenges and as a distress call. In many ways this is a fairly anonymous form of communication as the recipients of your SHOUT (which may be abbreviated to just SH) will see your message appear as merely an ambiguous voice, only distinguished by its pitch. Shouting is helpful in situations of genuine or dire need, or of public importance. Its regular and persistent use is discouraged, as it is prone to disturb others.
