      Can’t they just say ‘criticise’? It’s so annoying all this slamming

        Criticise is too long for a printed newspaper title. Editors are still stuck thinking about how the headline will look in print.

          It’s a whole two letters longer than slammed. I also argue that the double m is taking more space than the two extra letters.
