While you're at that site, view the dictionary entry for "synonym." It does not mean what you apparently think it means.
If you look up "artist," for example, you will find the synonym "artisan." But anyone who thinks these are two words for the same thing, or even nearly the same thing, must re-acquaint himself with the English language before lecturing others on its proper use.

So insulting someone is todays way of arguing a point? I see........but it still doesnt remove the fact that reviewer and critic are basically identical. Its just semantics.
As for you Artist/Artisan comparison, they have extremely similar definitions. So I dont know what dictionary you are looking at, but maybe it is not I who should re-acquaint themselves with the english language.

Pointing out the definition of something is not an insult. Unless you choose to take it that way. Why would you choose to do so here?
In either case, you're wrong and desroko is right. Connotation: it's a b****!

He pointed out the definition of 2 words that werent even in the conversation nor are even related in anyway. The insult was implying that I need to be re-acquainted with the english language, but I am not the one who screwed up the definition critic/reviewer. So no I am not wrong
