instead of putting world, put view() and it will only show it to people on your screen.
Read the DM guide http://developer.byond.com/docs/guide/

And Zilal's Beginner Tutorials

try this one:
mob
   verb
      say(msg as text)
         view() << "[usr] says, [msg]"// The view() is a proc which means this output will be shown only to users in the sight of the player

mob
   verb
      wsay(msg as text)
      world << "[usr] says, [msg]"//world means the messege will be shown to the entrie server


I hope I helped you

guys you can code Say two ways and view() and oview() are wrong ways to do it.(they might not be wrong but they just never worked for me before.) there could be more than 2 ways but these are the only working ways I know of.
mob/verb/Say(t as text)
   hearers << "[usr] says [t]"
//Since your new to coding, I might add that the letter or letters before "as text" are variables and can be anything.

or

mob/verb/Say(t as text)
   view(usr) << "[usr] says [t]"
