Takes me back to my College level English classes…..and being married to a Journalism major….points I’m sure she would appreciate. I have to say though it was an odd read. I would have expected better representation considering it’s an embassy.

For the standards of official texts written by foreign speakers of English this would get a B-: definitely a bit off, but for a non-native speaker it’s very hard to pinpoint a way to correct it. It’s at the level where the only way to improve it through rewriting half of it – something that is not easy at all for someone who hasn’t lived and studied abroad when young (!).

For Romanian standards it’s an A+ (just look at most official documents and websites).

Uite, tradu textul asta in romana si o sa vezi cum e :)

Still, I would expect a bit more from the embassy to the UK, I’m sure there are at least 1 or 2 people over there who lived a long time in the UK and speak English at a native level.
