What is another word for captious critic?
Pronunciation: [kˈapʃəs kɹˈɪtɪk] (IPA) 
A captious critic is someone who is overly critical and nitpicky, often for the sake of finding fault rather than providing constructive feedback. Synonyms for this term include faultfinder, hypercritical, nitpicker, quibbler, carper, and caviler. These individuals tend to focus on the minor flaws of any given situation or product, rather than the bigger picture. They may also be considered pessimistic or cynical in their approach to criticism. It is important to note that while constructive criticism can be useful for improvement, captious criticism can be harmful and demotivating. Therefore, it is important to take feedback with a grain of salt and consider the source of the criticism before taking it to heart.
