I was looking through a chapter for one of the stories I'm writing, and I ran across this quote:
I can't believe I wrote that! JAG! You have INFECTED me!! Get those silly dialogue tags away from me!

Oh my god. Just because you read "started" and you think of someone jumping up out of their chair doesn't mean everyone in the world is as paranoid as you. It's obvious that "started" refers to someone starting a sentence. Whereas it's not the best form of explaining that someone started to speak, it's the easiest to push it's way out. I mostly use "began" now anyway.
