There's a lot of times when you want to set something down in a room, but the message makes it sound like you just let go of it, letting it fall.
For example:
drop corpse rests solemnly on the examination table.
echos: Delana drops the corpse of a Lithmorran woman.
It would be less jarring if the message was "Delana sets down the corpse of a Lithmorran woman." Or something along those lines.
