Cover - Dickens Hard Times, Public Domain You can criticise others at your peril. For some people, like tutors and markers, it's a necessary part of their existence. But, in my opinion, you can tell almost anyone almost anything if you do it in the right way. There can be nothing worse for a writer than someone  patronising them, or talking down to them, or even criticising them inaccurately because of misunderstandings about stylistic and spelling differences due to the other writer's national or cultural background.
