Waaaay back we had a discussion about denotative vs connotative meaning. There are many fine shadings of meaning that are not usually defined. As well as degree of harshness Censure carries a sense of formality, Reproach implies some hint of sadness/hurt feelings on the part of the reproacher, Scold implies an adult/child relationship.
Makes me wonder how much I miss when attempting to operate in other languages.
