Critique Checker

Check the phrasing of a Critique

Use this page to see if your critique might have unrecommended phrasing, as described in the articles on critters diplomacy and It's Not What You Say But How You Say It.

Note that having it check out okay does NOT submit the critique! It only checks it for certain red-flag phrases. Submit the critique as usual (email or via the submission page).
