Alternative to "Hear" With Written Communication?

Question

In person a person may say something like the following: > I would really like to hear what you have to say about X. On a forum (or other forms of written communication), I often see similar ideas being expressed using the word "hear." Of course, with such communication, the vast majority of the people involved will actually read what the other person has to say. As such, I am looking for an alternative to "hear" that can be used as a drop-in replacement in as many cases as possible. Also, I know I am probably being a bit pedantic by not just using "hear," but, I would still like to know something that can more accurately convey such ideas.

Answer 1

Well, "I would like to hear what you have to say" is the same thing as:

I would like to know what is on your mind.

Tell me what you think.

I would like to know your opinion.

What do you have to say about it?

Give me your honest opinion.

Speak up.

What is your argument?

The appropriateness of each of these options depends on the context for which it will be applied.
