Hello James and thank you for your feedback.

The site is actually proof-edited by native English speakers. Could you please tell me where you found such problems?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you again.

Best,
Fabrizio Ferrari

Fabrizio,

It's nothing horrible--but I found some awkward phrasing on the About Us page. It sounds like someone has translated the original from another language in places.

I'm sorry to have been critical, because the site is actually quite wonderful! I'm going to link to it from my site at 88keys.8m.net.

Thank you for your kind reply James, if you could be more specific about your mentioned "awkward phrasing on the About Us page" would be really appreciated, we will ask our proof-reading editors to fix or improve such a phrasing from your feedback.

I visited your website, I really like it, congratulations!

I really hope you will enjoy your staying here on Musicians Page. Your feedback is always very welcome!

All the best,

Fabrizio

James, I have just asked to our proof-reading editor to review our About Us page, and here it is revised:

http://www.musicianspage.com/about/


What do you think?

Thank you again.

Best,
Fabrizio Ferrari

It is sort-of ok. but still the sence that it was first written in an another language and later translated remains. you know, constructions like, "Thus was born the first...", "The information musicians publish here becomes...", "...to provide musicians a cyberspace for the sharing of..." and such. btw, there is no need to put articles before "information" and "sharing", i think...

Well, our editor is a Ph.D. in linguistics, we asked him and he told us that everything is correct. Of course can be improved, but nothing is "incorrect" there.

Thank you for your concerns, we will improve our copy furthermore in the coming weeks.

All the best,

Fabrizio Ferrari
