As for "criticising" v. "criticizing" -- both spellings are generally acceptable in Canada, but only the zed version is acceptable in the US.
Fine! I admit I am wrong about the "your". I am not quite so sure about the "criticising" as my Canadian dictionary is underlining it with red and sites I have found on the internet that compare Canadian and American spelling show it as "Criticizing" in Canada.
