"I believe his point is that the word critical shouldn’t be subject to gradation. Either they’re critical or they’re not, they can’t be very critical or slightly critical or mediumly critical. Not entirely sure it’s worth starting a forum thread over, though." But worth a comment? | |||

Presumably they have life threatening injuries " Doubtless, but critical is critical. You can't be very critical, incredibly critical, a little critical...a journalist should be better than this | |||

"What if they had written ‘ever so critical’ or ‘super critical’ or ‘hyper-mega critical’ ? I read that in the voice of a camp older guy “Oo ee was ever so critical you know”" I’m not camp, a tad older. I’ve got quite a distinctive accent which ain’t Brightonian. | |||

"What if they had written ‘ever so critical’ or ‘super critical’ or ‘hyper-mega critical’ ?" Critical is critical! You might as well say something is incredibly dead! | |||
