:Regarding caustic: being critical still ''pretty much'' requires speech. (It's at least a ''little'' difficult to express "criticism" (in a really meaningful way) without speaking.) (And FWIW, "harsh and critical" is attributed as the simple definition, whereas the "full definition" says, ''"marked by incisive sarcasm"''.) | :Regarding caustic: being critical still ''pretty much'' requires speech.

:Finally, it doesn't matter if a word was used in this or that book. I could find the most obscure word used in a relatively modern book, but that doesn't mean it would be appropriate to use that word. It's simply folly to use a word that's hard to recognize, especially if it can be written differently and/or more recognizably.

== Formatting == | |||
I'd like to ask you to use more appropriate formatting when adding content here. The issues below only make things more difficult for any user who tries to edit what you wrote later on. | |||
First and foremost, don't use unnecessary line breaks. If you intend one part of what you're writing to be a single paragraph, do ''not'' put any line breaks in the middle of that text. ''(For example, '''not''' this... | |||
<pre> | |||
The episode starts with Malva reporting | |||
directly from the league,chronicling up all the | |||
events that have taken place in the conference | |||
[...] | |||
</pre> | |||
''...But rather: | |||
<pre> | |||
The episode starts with Malva reporting directly from the league,chronicling up all the events that have taken place in the conference [...] | |||
</pre> | |||
And at the end of the paragraph, ''two'' line breaks will make sure they're actually displayed as separate paragraphs. You can see this if you use preview or just pay attention after you save... (And on a related note, rather than updating an episode's plot in several edits more or less in a row, it would really be appreciated if you just wrote up the whole plot and only saved ''once''.) | |||
Also: punctuation. Always place a space after pretty much any punctuation. (I can't think of any you shouldn't, but if nothing else, the most common problems in what you add are commas and periods without a space after.) | |||
Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:36, 8 July 2016 (UTC) | |||
