Everyone here on English Ebaby is so kind--sometimes I need not ""so kind". What I want--need--is more critiqued writing experience in English, so tell me when I make no sense or when I am not grammatical--Please.  :)

Oh wow!  Thank you so much.  I know that English words may have many meanings--to learn them all takes--well, a liftime.  But thank you so much.  I will try and learn what you have taught me.

From the word "critical" which can mean "discerning", comes the word critic.

A critic is a impartial fault finder, among other things.

Criticism is what a critic says.

Criticize is what a critic does.

Critical can be how a critic says or does, but it has other meanings such as urgency or importance which tell us it's the broader word and the more narrow meanings came from it.

Thank you guys--I truly appreciate all your warm-felt criticism.  But seriously, I agree with all of what you have offered: true friends will tell you when you are messing up--but they do it to build you up--not to tear you down.

I agree with you, handwriter,

It would be great if someone corrected our mistakes... but... I don't think it's possible here...

We have to accept the situation and search for an English teacher somewhere else.

Then I can communicate with other people and learn from their mistakes... or learn to make their mistakes (as if there are not enough my own ones))).

On the other hand there are so kind people here. :)
