Well, you started to use the word Critique in the subject.
According to the dictionary this word means "the art of criticism" and criticism is "a
severe or unfavorable judgement".
That is not a good definition of critique.
From Oxford Dictionary of English:
critique|krɪˈtiːk|nouna detailed analysis and assessment of something,
especially a
literary, philosophical, or political theory:a critique of Marxist
historicism.verb(critiques,critiquing,critiqued)[withobject]evaluate (a theory
orpractice)
in adetailedand analytical way:the authors critique the methods
andpracticesused in
theresearch.ORIGINmid 17thcentury(as a noun): fromFrench, based
onGreekkritikē
tekhnē‘criticalart’.
Different Dictionaries have different descriptions / explanations of Critique, but they all
come down to criticising something.
No, they do not. A critique is not about criticizing something. Here are some synonyms (note
that criticize isn't on the list).
critique
noun
he produced a critique of North American culture: analysis, evaluation,
assessment,
appraisal, appreciation, review, write-up; criticism, critical essay,
textual examination,
commentary, study, treatise, discourse, exposition, disquisition, account,
exegesis
The Original Poster only expressed his frustration he did not asked for help.
True. He also misused critique.
The purpose of this mailing list is not to fight about words but to help others
who have issues.
And if you misuse words communication is impossible.
