"say" at the end of some sentences #1 (permalink) Thu Jun 15, 2006 20:29 pm   "say" at the end of some sentences		  
Hi

I have often seen "say" at the end of some sentences.
What does it mean?
When is it used?

Thanks

Tom

Say or let's say is used to suggest:

Choose a number -- (let's) say sixteen.

You may have to pay a lot, (let's) say, more than $100.
