:Regarding the last line, what really (apparently) happened in the episode is that Phantump was convinced to change its mind. In that respect, your phrasing focuses on the world, almost suggesting that the ''world'' has changed; when rather, it is really most appropriate to focus on Phantump's outlook changing. | |||
:Regarding caustic: being critical still ''pretty much'' requires speech. (It's at least a ''little'' difficult to express "criticism" (in a really meaningful way) without speaking.) (And FWIW, "harsh and critical" is attributed as the simple definition, whereas the "full definition" says, ''"marked by incisive sarcasm"''.) | |||
:Finally, it doesn't matter if a word was used in this or that book. I could find the most obscure word used in a relatively modern book, but that doesn't mean it would be appropriate to use that word. It's simply folly to use a word that's hard to recognize, especially if it can be written differently and/or more recognizably.
