"Once a text has been drawn up the process is only half way through: as a matter of fact, barely nobody can produce a perfect draft, hence the final version is achieved through accurate proofreading."

This is the first sentence on a PROOFREADING website!

"EBL Italia not only translates texts but also revises pre-translated material and monolingual texts that need to be polished and perfected by our linguists.

Game, set and match to me I think!

The only person on this thread who's NOT a flawless English linguist is you.

I said argument in response to Mr Burns saying argument.

It's a slam dunk. The game's over. I've won conclusively. Let's not be bad sports now.
