Though it can give you a small burst of pleasure, being critical of others or the tendency to criticise others can become a habit, a bad, bad habit, as it can make yourself look extremely insensitive to other people, and ultimately cause you to lose your friendships and relationships with them.
Learn more about that habit by watching the video below. Remember there are many ways to express your criticism of others and to help you get a handle on your impulse to criticise before it ruins your relationship.

His poster Evolution of the Alphabet looks at nearly 3,800 years of the alphabet’s evolution, tracing it from Egyptian hieroglyphs (c. 1750 BCE) through Phoenician, early Greek and Latin, and finally to the present forms we use today. The limited edition print shows that some letters have appeared relatively the same for millennia, while others, like U, V, and W, developed much closer to our own time period from a single character.

The term was first coined by the American applied linguist Robert Kaplan in 1966 to denote eclecticism and subsequent growth of collective knowledge in certain languages. According to Kaplan, text production is influenced by different 'cultural thought patterns' (represented schematically in the diagrams), and a comparison of these patterns can predict the kinds of problems learners face when writing in their L2: this is known as the contrastive rhetoric hypothesis.
