I would like to see the word "criticism" stricken from our vocabulary, especially when it comes to offering speech evaluations. They are and in my opinion will always be a form of feedback. What a glorious word, feedback. It can and does so effectively encompass both suppportive as well as opportunistic comments to our target speakers. This word could easily replace all references to criticism (there's just something of a negative connotation to that word).
