As I mentioned earlier, I made a homebrew. One of the things I addressed is the "talking is a free action" trope. Talking is... SOMETIMES a free action.
For example, debating with a king, involving Bluff, Diplomacy, or Gather Information type skills? Totally a standard action. Saying "bonjour" to everyone in a provincial town while singing? Sure, make that a free action. Rule of thumb is effort and cost. Warning someone to watch out... while rocks are falling? Doable, but since time is passing, very definitely not a free action

Everyone knows taunting the bad guys is a free action.
