nagging, captious, contentious Hi everybody, I'm looking for the best/ most often used word. My translator found many examples and I'm not sure which one is the correct one in the context I want to use it. For instance, a person who will search even for tiniest reason to say something bad/negative about you or something else. '' how do I look?'' ''I don;t like your hair today'' ( even if he/she thinks it looks good) Or I presented my project to the professor and it was really good, but just because he doesn't like me in general he will tell me that it's not good enough and I have to re-write some parts. Thank you!
