    I am writing about the findings from an interview for undergraduate research.

    Have found myself writing... "Mr X made the point that xxxx" and a few sentences later I also say "Mr X also made the point that xxx" ....

    I`m looking for a few different ways of saying "made the point"

    Thanks

    said, made clear, argued, claimed, suggested, made clear, put the case.

    I feel like a thesaurus.

    Edit: I seem to be a big believer in making things clear.

    Proposed that...
    Proposed the view.
    Asserted.
    Stated.

    affirmed, pointed out, contended.

    Cheers for the suggestions.

    It sure is better than having "made the point" about 30 times in 4 pages.
