comment
Say your piece
A comment is a remark or observation, usually brief: Any comments on the proposal?
In writing, comments are explanatory or critical notes.
In programming, a comment is text ignored by the computer, meant only for human readers.
To comment is to make such remarks.
No comment is a standard refusal to respond to questions, especially from journalists.
